Flood incidents occur annually in Taman Negara Endau Rompin Selai Bekok due to continuous substantial rains during the rainy period. The absence of a structured flood tracking and detection system limits effective information dissemination regarding flooding to the public; currently, visitors are only informed at office counters. This inefficient conventional method should be upgraded to a real time flood monitoring and alert system utilizing Internet of things (IoT) technology. UTHM personnel have requested the development of an easily accessible flood detection system via tablets or smartphones to efficiently relay flood information to visitors. Consequently, a flood detection system called “Floodwatch” was developed. The prototype provides live water level readings, air temperature, humidity, and flood images to users. The prototype has undergone rigorous testing to ensure stability, consistency, and accuracy, enabling its effective utilization. The Floodwatch system aims to enhance safety and awareness during flood events in the Taman Negara Endau Rompin Selai Bekok area. © 2025 by the authors.
