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 infrastructure systems such as electricity supply, water supply, sewage system, road and railway networks, telephone including critical facilities such as hospitals and shelters. Nowadays, people are highly dependent on infrastructure systems. As flood has caused severe damage to infrastructure systems, there are extreme needs to strengthen infrastructure systems towards resilience infrastructure systems which can absorb, recover and operate appropriately during the flood. Therefore, this paper aims to identify resilience criteria to strengthen infrastructure systems towards floods. This paper is written based on an overview of literature from journal, articles, newspaper, book and report from the previous researches. The results obtained from this paper can be used by other researchers in strengthening the infrastructure systems towards flood.
