Natural disasters have become more frequent and intense around the world. Malaysia has no exception where the flood is the most devastating natural Disaster experienced by this country. Flood has caused massive damage and disruption, particularly to physical components such as energy and water supply, transportation and telecommunication systems, and critical facilities like hospitals and shelters. Thus, there is an extreme need to build and strengthen the resilience of physical components to resist, absorb, accommodate, and recover from the effect of flood in a timely and efficient manner in flood-affected areas. However, the community's flood-affected areas' needs may vary in different locations. Therefore, this study aims to determine a significant difference between the resilience criteria in different Kelantan districts. Thus, cross-sectional survey was conducted among one hundred and fifty-one (151) communities (government = 40; private sectors = 38; learning institution = 31; and communities = 32) in eight (8) districts which identified as flood-prone areas in Kelantan. A total of 23 resilience criteria (robustness = 5; resourcefulness = 6; rapidity = 6; redundancy = 6) to strengthen physical components were analyzed by SPSS version 22 subjected to descriptive and correlation analysis. The study found significant positive differences between the resilience criteria in different Kelantan districts.
