In terms of methodology, survey method has been adopted to 147 respondents who were affected by the flood in the flood-prone areas in the states of Kelantan and Pahang.Based on simple descriptive analysis, it is found that flood had affected the victims financially especially on their sources of income. In terms of awareness towards Takaful schemes, majority of the victims are aware of Takaful, yet about 30 percent of them are uncertain about the existence of Takaful schemes that may reduce their financial losses when the flood hit. Furthermore, the victims also have limited knowledge on the amount of Takaful contribution that they have to pay for flood coverage (41 percent) and they are uncertain on their capability to pay the monthly Takaful contribution in future (44 percent). The findings of this study provide important inputs on the possibility of establishing an affordable micro-takaful meant for future financial protection as a safety net especially for the lower income and most vulnerable flood victims in the country.
