Abstract

Managing crowd is essential in a time of emergency because a large volume of movements or flow may be restricted or obstructed by the existing capacity. This paper centres around preparedness, actions were taken during the event and mitigation measures of flooding in two case studies. Hulu Langat and Cameron Highlands have similarities and differences in planning for, managing of and reviving from flood disasters. In particular, route planning is focused to extract the movement behaviour among people impacted by the calamity. This study employed an interview method which results have been synthesised to feed into the formulation of future strategies for access or movement facilities for victims of disasters.
