Based on this situation, it is recognized that Malaysia have to establish an effective flood management (FM) practice in order to reduce the impact caused by flood. This article seeks to examine the proper governance framework needed in managing flood. The aim of this paper is to, namely: identify the current governance structure in several selected countries and identify the challenges associated with the structure. Results from this comparative study will be used in recommending the best form of a FM framework.
