Abstract: Flood disaster is one of the most frequent natural disasters that occur all around the world.For flood prone areas or countries, flood management is an essential part of their governance.In recent years, there has been an increasing use of Information Technology (IT) to facilitate in flood management.For example, the use of sensors to measure hydrological data such as water level and then transmitting that data over the network has become a common practice in many parts of the world.The same goes with the measurement and transmission of geological and meteorological data related to flood.When combined together, this infrastructure forms an Internet of Things (IoT).This paper provides a review on the research works that utilize IoT for flood data management.The paper then proposed an IoT architecture for flood data management that can serve as the basis for the implementation of IoT infrastructure that collect, transmit and manage flood related data. Keywords: flood, flood data management, Internet of Things (IoT)The Internet is currently evolved in several directions and technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT).Previously it is known as the "Internet of Everything", "machine-to-machine (M2M)", "physical computing" and even "ubiquitous computing".Presently, Internet of Things has become one of the technology that has been used as a study to improve the area of disaster management focusing on f lood.This paper is organized as follows: Section 2 describe the concept of IoT, Section 3 reviews IoT in disaster management, Section 4 provides a summary of IoT in flood data management and Section 5 discussed our proposed IoT architecture for flood data management.
