Abstract

This study investigates critical deficiencies in emergency response during the December 2021 Hulu Langat floods, aiming to develop and evaluate innovative solutions to enhance the efficiency and timeliness of disaster relief efforts. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and field observations, the research identifies significant delays in coordination and response times among federal agencies and rescue teams. Key findings highlight the necessity for improved communication and resource management. In response, the study proposes a novel emergency response product, designed to address these issues. The implementation of these solutions is anticipated to improve response capabilities, reduce the human and material toll of floods, and bolster community resilience in Hulu Langat. The study’s outcomes offer valuable insights into disaster management practices and hold potential benefits for other regions facing similar environmental challenges.
