Flood management is another area of a complex environment where the managing process is extremely complicated. This is due to the uncontrollable aspects arise during the event including flood status, agency responsibilities, media coverage, and other unexpected activities. While the execution process taking place, the accuracy of the Standard Operation Procedure (SOP) implementation is worrying about the management. Researchers in the area of flood management have shared common worries concerning on execution of flood management plans which are (1) poor learning curve of matters pertaining to the handling of floods; (2) poor management of after-the-flood and (3) complexities of risk analysis and assessment related to the flood. Therefore, the objective of the study is to improve exiting SOP in terms of agility over its governance that needs to be revised for better planning and preparedness while dealing with flood disasters. Hence, an Agile Information-Based Framework for Flood Management was proposed as a solution to justify the concerns by using thematic analysis methodology from the data gathered via interviews, document studies, literature reviews and site visits.
