Delving into the depths of Valenzuela City's local flood management knowledge, this research seeks to assess the knowledge and awareness among community members regarding on flood risks, preparedness measures, strategies and understanding the knowledge of the residents about flood management. It needs for improvement of flood management strategies. For us to reduce this mess we need to determine the knowledge of residents about flood management and their practices in terms of flood-risks, assess the effectiveness of the communities’ flood management knowledge and their practices in terms of flood mitigation, and scrutinize whether Valenzuela City's Disaster Risk Reduction and Management planning could consider the communities’ flood control knowledge and practices. Understanding flood control is crucial to empowering residents to defend their neighborhoods from the consequences of floods. It enables residents to lessen risks, prepare ahead of time, respond to emergencies, build community resilience, and support sustainable development. By being aware of Valenzuela City flood management, residents can protect themselves, their communities, and the environment from the damaging effects of flooding. In order to strengthen community resilience, the results highlight the importance of incorporating ecosystem management and climate change adaptation within disaster risk reduction programmes. This strategy places a strong emphasis on the value of cooperative alliances, engaged community participation, and thorough long-term planning in order to successfully reduce the danger of flooding and improve Valenzuela City's resilience.
