Abstract: Floods are among Malaysia’s most frequent and devastating disasters, affecting more than 4.8 million people annually. Rapid urbanisation, deforestation, and climate change have increased flood risk and severity. Community preparedness remains in adequate, particularly in rural and low-income areas. Strengthening community resilience through structured training is crucial to mitigating the impact of disasters. Conclusion, The Flood Disaster Preparedness Training Module effectively improved community knowledge, confidence, and coordination in flood response. Its participatory design ensures local relevance and sustainability. Intergration into national training frameworks and future digital expansion will strengthen Malaysia’s disaster resilience, empowering commnunities to better prepare for and recover from flood events.
