Key Insights from the Dashboard

Explore 5 key insights that reveal important patterns about flood impacts across Malaysia.

🌊 Overall Flood Impact

  • Floods cause major economic losses across Malaysia.
  • The Total Loss indicator shows how quickly flood damages can accumulate.
  • The Flood Severity Index helps summarise how intense and damaging flood events are.

📍 State-Level Findings

  • Flood impacts vary significantly by state.
  • Some states show repeated high losses over multiple years, indicating higher vulnerability.
  • Even lower-risk states can experience sharp spikes during severe flood years.

🏭 Sector Most Affected

  • Infrastructure often records the highest losses, disrupting transport and public services.
  • Agriculture losses reflect damage to crops and farmland, affecting food supply and farmer income.
  • Residential areas show higher losses during more severe flood events.

📈 Trends Over Time

  • Losses usually peak in major flood years and reduce in less severe years.
  • However, lower-impact years still show ongoing damage, not zero loss.
  • This pattern suggests floods are a persistent long-term risk, not occasional events.

🔮 Future Outlook

  • Forecast results suggest losses may increase if risk factors remain unmanaged.
  • A downward forecast trend may reflect improvements from mitigation and preparedness.
  • Wide uncertainty ranges indicate flood outcomes are difficult to predict, so forecasts should guide planning rather than provide exact values.

Why This Matters

Flood risks differ by location, sector, and time. The dashboard supports better decision-making by helping users identify where losses are highest, which sectors are most affected, and when severe impacts are most likely to occur.

Key Takeaway

Overall, floods create significant economic pressure in Malaysia, especially in high-risk states and heavily affected sectors. The dashboard highlights the importance of targeted mitigation, resource planning, and long-term preparedness to reduce future losses.
