Identification of vulnerable areas to floods in kelantan river sub- basins by using flood vulnerability index by Ibrahim, Nurul Farahen, Noorul, Hassan Zardari, Sharif, Moniruzzaman Shirazi, Mohd. Haniffah, Mohd. Ridza, Mat Taib, Shazwin, Yusop, Zulkifli, Mohd. Yusoff, Siti Mariam Akilah

“…The result indicates that the flood vulnerability indices of sub-basins were mostly ranked high in the areas with high concentration of development activities and densely populated region with large infrastructure exis tence that are more flood-prone group than others especially in major metropolitan areas. In order to steer against probable damage caused by flood, it remains important to develop a t ool that is most beneficial for river basin managers and policy makers, so that they can conduct vulner ability assessment and flood risk in term of human lives losses and property damages during future ma ssive floods. …”
