Abstract-This paper describes the issues relating to the role of the delivery system provided by the government to the flood victims in Malaysia, pre-disaster, during and post-disaster caused by flooding. Presently, the delivery system in flood management was predominantly an official strategy based on a technology centered approach emphasizing the application of new technologies in flood control, forecasting, warning and evacuation systems. In Malaysia, the National Security Council (MKN) has responsibility for controlling the national disaster management system and this organisation will provide an effective relief machinery for recovery following flooding disaster. Further to that, this paper will attempt to describe the type of flood delivery system that has been used in Malaysia and to draw comparisons with delivery systems in other countries.Index Terms-Flood management approach in Malaysia, flood delivery system.
This paper describes the issues and problem of disaster relief provided by the government to the victims in Malaysia, during and post-disaster caused by flooding. Presently, the delivery relief system in flood management was predominantly an official strategy based on Directive No. 20 by National Security Council (MKN). These instructions outline a policy on disaster management and has set the role and responsibilities of the agencies involved and also covers the action of monitoring the activities in disaster management. Therefore, the focus of this study is on flooding that occurred in Malaysia. This paper presents findings from a literature review on previous research in this topic. The result show that, in Malaysia, a study concerning the evaluation of the effectiveness of policy implementation at levels during and post-disaster that affect the flood victims were poorly implemented. Further to that, this paper will attempt to describe the issues of disaster relief system that has been criticized.
