Abstract
Flood impacts are becoming more adverse in recent decades causing more damage to lives and livelihoods. The current study is an attempt to examine residents self-rated effects of flood incidence in the study area using a survey approach. A total of 257 respondents were selected. and administered questionnaire across six purposively sampled neighborhoods in the study area. Inerviews were also conducted on key informants comprising two residents in each sampled neighborhoods in the study area. Findings showed that flood effects as rated by residents were generally high. Findings also showed that flood impact was rated highest on displacements and infrastructure damage. Loss of lives was rated least across the six neighborhoods. Recommendations were made based on the findings.
