Effectiveness of flood disaster management is the ability to reduce the serious implications of disasters to every level of society in Malaysia. Therefore, the involvement of flood disaster workers from government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and volunteers is appropriate and important through joint cooperation, starting in the phases before, during, and after the disaster. This is because proactive planning and communication not only helps to control the impact of the flood situation that may occur but also reduces the risk to flood communities and the workload to disaster workers that may reduce the number of victims, economic losses, health deterioration, and security threats. However, most of the experiences of flood disaster cases in Malaysia have significant weaknesses in terms of planning, communication, and serious involvement, especially between flood disaster workers, community leaders, and volunteers. Therefore, the review of this article is related to the roles of flood disaster workers of various sectors in flood disaster management. The methodology used is through a literature search from the Google Scholar and ResearchGate databases. The final number of journal articles selected are10 research studies. The themes that emerged from this review were flood disaster preparedness, flood psychoeducation, flood disaster response, relief support at evacuation centres, psychosocial support among of flood disaster workers, and post-flood disaster recovery. Hence, comprehensive planning in disaster management between agencies and authorities involved is crucial for effective risk management.
