Analysis of flood identification and mitigation for disaster preparedness: A system thinking approach

Floods are a major threat to agricultural production. Reducing the impact on agricultural production is a challenging task in mitigating flood. By understanding the causes of the flooding, we can use the information to make a comprehensive flood mitigation model. The approach of system dynamics can be used to look at the factors that influence the handling and prevention of flooding in the agricultural sector. This study aims to illustrate flood mitigation in agriculture using a system dynamics approach. We are using the information collected from interviews with key officials from the government office. We also use the information from existing research reports or another publication related to floods and disaster management. Both information source is used as a base in developing flood mitigation model. District governments can use flood mitigation models to reduce the risk of flooding on agriculture.
