Data were collected with the use of researcher's structured questionnaire already validated by two experts in the field of He alth Promotion and Environmental Health Education and Geography. Pilot testing was conducted using split half method. A reliability coefficient of .78r was obtained. Demographic data collected were analyzed with the aid of frequency counts and simple perce ntage while the postulated hypotheses were tested with the use of inferential statistics of Chi - square. The results of the study revealed that flood disaster had significant impact on socio - economy, agricultural production and environment. Based on these f indings, the researcher recommends that residents are advised to avoid indiscriminate dumping of refuse as this could result into flood disaster and government at all levels should embark on public drainage and bridge construction so as to pave way for wat er during heavy rainfall.
