In Malaysia, flash floods have become a common disaster, with citizens almost able to 
predict their occurrence in the future, especially in urban areas like Sungai Petani, Kedah. 
These floods usually occur after heavy rain in a short period and pose serious threats to 
residents in high-density areas. As such disasters become more predictable, there is a 
growing need for innovative solutions to improve public safety and disaster preparedness. 
BahResQ is a smart alert system designed to detect flash floods quickly and issue real
time warnings for public safety. Its main function is to provide fast, accurate alerts to 
residents in affected areas and the general public nearby. This allows people to avoid 
dangerous zones, take precautions, and plan safer travel routes. In addition to public alerts, 
BahResQ also notifies emergency authorities, enabling faster response and more effective 
rescue efforts. The system plays a crucial role in reducing the impact of flash floods by 
supporting efficient evacuation, traffic redirection, and disaster monitoring. By combining 
early detection and rapid communication, BahResQ offers a proactive solution to the 
challenges posed by flash floods. It empowers communities with timely information, 
enhances public safety, and supports coordinated emergency response during critical 
situations.
