In addition, this device also constructs as a back-up energy source with the presence of solar energy, which can be longer lasting and effective compared to conventional flood detection systems

Essential knowledge transfer process model to support disaster management

There is a lack of knowledge transfer modeling that focuses on the essence of the knowledge transfer process. This paper aims to identify the processes that are common and essential in the implementation of knowledge transfer from multiple senders to one receiver using the star topology as the architecture. This study extracts the actual processes involved during the flow of knowledge from the source to the receiver identified from the literature review and existing theories. The processes are identified as: acquire, convert, implement and store (ACIS). The model is illustrated in a case study of flood management in Malaysia. The utilization of the identified essential processes of knowledge transfer will provide stakeholders with a concrete way of transferring knowledge by standardizing the actual process of knowledge transfer. These processes may be applied in various domains that use the star topology as the communication architecture

Prioritizing critical factors of floods in Kedah using pairwise comparison approach

In recent years, flood is one of the most frequent natural disasters impacting Kedah, a northern state in Malaysia famously known as the rice bowl of the nation.Kedah is the largest local supplier of rice production in Malaysia. It is also famous for its tourism industry.However, some parts of the state, if not all, had been affected by floods every year albeit various mitigation efforts by the authorities. Finding causes, both main and peripherals, is therefore essential to find better solution.Hence, this study aims to determine main causes of floods in Kedah.In doing so, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is employed in which pairwise questionnaire is developed and distributed to selected respondents. Findings show that human factors are perceived to be more critical than natural causes.Overall, respondents had also identified poor drainage system as the most critical causes of floods in Kedah followed by blocking of water channels and improper land use.Findings from this study can potentially be used by relevant authorities such as the irrigation department as well as local councils to minimize probability of floods from happening.In all, the study can be improved further by increasing the number of expert respondents from various parties in Kedah

Development of mobile based flood victims medical management system

Flood is the most devastating natural disaster Malaysia has ever seen. In Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak, there are 189 river basins (89 in Peninsula Malaysia, 78 in Sabah, and 22 in Sarawak), with the main rivers flowing directly into the South China Sea and 85 of them are prone to repeated floods. The projected area vulnerable to flood catastrophe is around 29,800 km2 or 9% of Malaysia's total territory, affecting nearly 4.82 million people or about 22% of the country's entire population. Humans are affected by floods in a variety of ways. Floods have the worst effect on human health because infectious illnesses spread readily during and after the flood. Furthermore, healthcare services are hampered during the flood season. It is owing to transportation and staffing difficulties, as well as the procedure of documenting flood victims' health reports. The primary goal of this initiative is to assist flood victims in terms of health. It will be easier to seek treatment, record the patient's health concerns online, and notify the hospital immediately if there are patients who need to be sent to the hospital with the information supplied. This system was created with the Android Studio platform as the user interface medium and Google Firebase as the data storage medium

Managing Volunteers’ Experience on Flood Disaster using Storytelling

Knowledge plays a vital role in managing project. Generally, knowledge is being categorized into two: explicit and tacit. Tacit knowledge is the “know – how” knowledge that lies in expert‟s head, while explicit knowledge is written and codified knowledge. Both are long term assets to every project and putting effort to nurture them is very critical. Though so, most projects are having difficulty in sharing tacit knowledge because of its nature that prevented the knowledge from being articulated and formalized. Therefore, integrating knowledge management into project enables tacit knowledge to be captured, codified, and then shared across the project. One of the best ways in sharing tacit knowledge is using storytelling. As part of knowledge management, storytelling offers sharing of a more structured and absorbable form of tacit knowledge. This paper shares a viewpoint of knowledge sharing in flood disaster relief missions since Malaysia is no stranger to its yearly monsoon season which strikes mainly in the East Coast and northern states like Kelantan, Terengganu, and other states as well. Experience based learning is very much applied in this project. Besides that, this paper is based on the research methodology of Feature Driven Development (under Agile Development Process)

An analysis of malaysian public policy in disaster risk reduction: An endeavour of mitigating the impacts of flood in Malaysia

In light of climate change and sustainable development issues, holistic flood risk reduction strategies must be integrated into policy initiatives to reduce flood threats. Numerous countries have been devastated by recent floods, which have claimed many lives and wrecked the economy in the affected areas. In most nations, there are public policies in place to mitigate the impact of flooding on citizens. Policies adopted are mostly based on international frameworks, including the Yokohama Strategy, the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. With the help of international frameworks, Malaysia has also developed several disaster guidelines and public policies. Some people died as a result of their failure to escape from the floodwaters, but many more were injured. Since Malaysia is plagued by floods, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of Malaysian public policy related to flood management. This qualitative research examines and evaluates publications from a variety of sources, especially published journal articles. The findings revealed that Malaysia lacks an effective legislative framework to integrate policies and mechanisms for flood management. Directive No. 20 of the National Security Council provides precise standards, but it must also rely on a range of regulations not specifically adopted for flood control. Besides that, the Directive is formulated to cater to general disasters and is not specifically focused on the flood. The Directive also did not highlight the need to engage citizens in flood management. Besides that, some local plans are less concerned with the criteria that help to inculcate preparedness in the face of flood risk. Policymakers in Malaysia should be able to use the findings of this research to craft a public policy that specifically addresses the country's flood concerns. Scholars are encouraged to conduct an additional study to obtain a better understanding of public policy issues in Malaysia, particularly floods
