| Summary: | -Flood disaster (FD) governance in Malaysia is chaotic and extremely complex in nature. Thus, it gives
rise to the need for proper governance to be in place in the form of clear operating procedures, governance
structures, activities and information-related needs in FD. This paper aims to address this need by constructing a
governance framework for FD governance in Malaysia. Primary data were collected through face-to-face interviews
with FD agency officers who were involved directly in flood. Other sources included books, journal articles and
government reports. The study constructs the flood governance framework which consists of six critical
components: the driving vision and mission; responding disaster agencies; processes layer; knowledge management
layer; information base and knowledge base layer; and governance layer. The building blocks for each component
are co-related. The findings of the study reveal that a flood governance framework is essential as a comprehensive
platform for effective FD cross-agency coordination, information sharing, transparency and decision-making
processes. This paper explores the current governance structure in the decision-making process specifically in
relation to cross-agency collaboration and information sharing in order to achieve the organizations’ vision and
mission. The paper recommends a governance framework for FD by adopting the principles of Control Objective for
Information and Related Technologies (COBIT) and the Hyogo Framework for Action |
