This project enhances flood resilience in Malaysia and Thailand through real-time flood  simulation and stakeholder collaboration. It focuses on developing early warning systems via cross-disciplinary research and improving stakeholder disaster preparedness through effective  communication and informed policy. With nearly a quarter of Malaysia’s population in flood prone areas and the 2011 Thailand flood causing over 800 deaths and $46.5 billion USD in  damages, improved flood response is crucial. Real-time modeling can strengthen early warning  systems, but high computational demands pose challenges. Leveraging cloud computing with  models like PCSWMM can optimize efficiency and reduce processing time, making disaster  response more effective. As an element of enhanced stakeholder preparedness, the project  consulted with a range of government agencies but also sought participation from diverse  communities to assess their understanding regarding flood risk. The study focuses on two key  areas: Batu Dam in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia, and Pathum Thani, Thailand.
