The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2023 report asserts that the effects of climate change on both humans and ecosystems are more extensive and severe than anticipated, emphasizing that the risk of future catastrophic events will escalate rapidly with each incremental degree of warming. Malaysia frequently experiences several disasters, including floods, landslides, earthquakes, and others within the country. Each year, floods stand out as the primary cause of both frequent and substantial damage, resulting in a significant loss of human life, disease outbreaks, property and crop destruction, and various other forms of loss. Between 2012 and 2019, Malaysia had the highest percentage of its population exposed to floods compared to other member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). In December 2014, Malaysia encountered its most severe monsoon floods on record. In response to this event, the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) was established on 1 October 2015, following a Cabinet decision made on 26 August 2015. The Malaysian government is constantly evaluating and revising its disaster management policies and legislation to accommodate evolving risks and the challenges ahead. There are several laws related to disaster management and emergency response in the country which are designed to provide a legal framework for managing disasters, emergencies, and public protection. This chapter will offer an overview of the scope of some important legislation related to disaster management in Malaysia. It will begin with a brief overview of Malaysia’s disaster governance, hazards, and risks. After that, it will delve into disaster governance, cover key institutions, and discuss key instruments and their coverage before concluding with a conclusion.
