Flood disasters in Indonesia and Samarinda City in general are disasters that continue to occur every year. Information on the dangers and risks of flooding is really needed, including the type of flood, the possibility of a flood occurring, the extent of flood inundation, the depth and speed of the flood, and the level of damage (to life, property and economic activity).
