Governance of the flood disaster framework in Malaysia: a way forward in enabling information technology knowledge sharing

Particularly in the field of Flood Management, poor governance results in weakness when tracking and monitoring flooding activities and systems, the poor mitigation of flood risks, and the inefficient use of both given and invested resources. This study proposes a framework for governing flood disas...
