    Floods are known to be commonly occurring natural disasters in most part of the world. In 2014, the
    east coast of Peninsular Malaysia was affected by the worst flood ever recorded in history. The worst
    flood affected area were Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang. The 2014 flood caused physical and
    monetary losses amounting nearly millions of dollars. Among the worst hit infrastructures in 2014 flood
    disaster were hospitals. This has led to the realization of hospital disaster preparedness and management
    is important which needs to be closely monitored and addressed. This paper investigates the disaster
    preparedness level of selected hospitals affected by flood disasters in Kelantan. Guided interviews with
    the flood-affected hospital disaster committees were carried out and summarized in a summary table to
    give a clear picture of the level of hospital disaster preparedness during the 2014 flood disaster. The
    results show that despite the existence of disaster action plan and protocols there is no standard disaster
    preparedness model being used by hospitals.
