Abstract: This research summarizes flood risk management with a primary focus on protecting durable goods during floods. This research acknowledges the need for a comprehensive approach to managing flood risks across various phases. This research examines the vulnerabilities and coping strategies of flood victims in safeguarding their possessions during floods, highlighting their general vulnerability and lack of concrete protective measures. To address these challenges, the research recommends innovative solutions for flood victims. Furthermore, researchers identify durable goods, particularly furniture and electronics, as most at-risk during floods and suggest measures to mitigate this vulnerability, including vehicle internal compartments. This research also uncovers the explicit and implicit needs of flood victims concerning their belongings, proposing design concepts that encompass item wrapping and safeguard mechanisms. In conclusion, this research contributes essential insights into flood risk management and innovative design solutions for safeguarding durable goods during floods. It underscores the importance of community involvement, government policies, and ongoing research in reducing flood-related losses and damage.
