dc.description.abstractFlood is the most frequent disaster in the Asian region, and Malaysia is no exception. Malaysia has been experiencing floods since 1920. Flood affects lives, health, properties, infrastructures, and the economy. Flood issues have been getting severe over the years and consequently intensify the vulnerability of flood victims or survivors, especially older people who are more susceptible to flood effects and aftermath than the general population. Older people tend to be more vulnerable due to their health conditions, limited physical mobility, impairment, low income, and social isolation. This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of flood disasters on older people’s vulnerabilities, their rights to health, and an adequate standard of living. The study elaborates on recent flood disasters by focusing on older victims’ situations. Data on disaster casualties and their effect on the vulnerabilities of older people, in general, are also discussed. The study also focuses on the challenges older people face in enjoying their rights and recommendations to improve the situation. The data were centrally collected through library research and descriptive analysis based on the qualitative method. The study found that the well-being of older people is affected in many ways, and they need continuous support to get back on their feet.
