Flood is a natural disaster that is not familiar to the world community. Floods are the
most devastating natural disasters experienced in Malaysia. Since 1965 the flood has
affected many areas in Malaysia including floods of 2014. The National Security Council
(MKN) said the new flood of Kelantan was the worst affected in the country's history.
The issue in this middle article is about flood disaster of Kelantan State. Hence, the
writing of this paper is intended to further elaborate on the factors affecting the flood,
the impact on the floods and the steps of certain parties to overcome the floods of the
State of Kelantan, especially in the Pasir Puteh basin. The scope of the study was in
Pasir Puteh, Kelantan. In this study, the researchers used two methods of qualitative
and quantitative methods in which respondents consisted of fifty people and an officer
from the Department of Drainage and Drainage (DID). Data used in this study are
from 1997 to 2018 in selected countries covering developed and developing countries.
In other words, the population has begun to enjoy a change in the economic level of
the family that is improving year after year, following the country's economic
development. But this situation is temporary for the Kelantan Basin because every
year their possessed property has been eliminated by the flood disaster. Therefore,
the implementation of the development consistently needs to be realized for the good
of the population of the basin.
