Abstract

The event of flooding and flood disasters across many countries is becoming more frequent or prone and at times the impact could be too devastating for any recovery. Malaysia has been regarded as a vulnerable country that needs to respond to floods more holistically which involves various stakeholders. The narratives of the affected people are often unheard or neglected. A narrative includes intentionally chosen, organized, and linked events that individuals think are important for a specific group of people. In this research, the use of trauma narrative analysis to look at the feedback from the affected people that might help society deal with the challenges of sustainable development, especially when it comes to communication management. In understanding narratives or feedback in the effort of contributing to trauma management, they could contribute to community self-efficacy and determine the dominant narratives. In summary, to ascertain the prevalent trauma narratives, it is established that respondents’ voices are entirely consistent in stating that their current circumstances keep them ‘on guard’ with a high level of anxiety. Additionally, it is indicated that the respondents are aware of the dangers associated with residing near the flooding region. They are well prepared for any unanticipated tragedy, but they need to improve communication between themselves and local leaders and authorities to guarantee more involvement.
