Abstract

Natural disasters such as flood which are related to weather, occurring in a lot of places in the world. Environment deterioration and human life damage are the recorded results of floods. Between years 2006 till 2008 due to heavy monsoon rainfalls, a number of floods have generated along Malaysia's in different parts of the country. The critical zones in term of flood damage are located in the east coast of peninsular Malaysia in the states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang. Manek Urai, as a rural area due to its type of buildings was one of the most vulnerable areas during Kelantan flood in 2014. As a proven fact, the victims need to be informed about housing options at the first one week after disaster. The evaluation of building damage must be conducted quickly and exactly. It is a clear fact that building damage survey using proper damage chart is more effective. This paper presents the results of site investigation according to the damage chart for damage assessment, and classifies photographic data of Manek Urai area, based on the damage chart. In addition, the damage chart of timber structures affected by liquefaction is localized.
