The communities in the district of Padang Terap, Kedah, were not used to flood events even though they had been living in the area for generations. Since 2000, flooding in this area had become a common occurrence as a result of the increased intensity and frequency of rain due to global warming and climate change. Recognizing the need to address the vulnerability and adaptation of the communities and relevant agencies, the Centre for Global Sustainability Studies (CGSS), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), carried out a project based on university-community engagement and education for sustainable development (ESD) in this area. The stakeholders involved in this project were from different entities, consisting of experts from USM, residents, local officials, and selected schools in the district. The project identified that the communities of Padang Terap needed counseling for trauma victims, training in handling and maintaining flood-related equipment, accredited flood rescue training, and the establishment of a formal community flood disaster committee consisting of village leaders and the local authorities. In addition, CGSS also addressed public awareness of the dangers of flooding via ESD activities implemented in schools and villages. Close cooperation and positive contributions from academia, local officials, and local communities ensured that the project was successful.
