Bencana adalah bahaya yang menyebabkan kerugian besat terhadap kehidupan, harta dan mata pencarian. Setiap tahun, negara kita terjejas oleh bencana sama ada bencana alam atau bencana buatan manusia. Pengurusan risiko bencana adalah pengurusan sumber-sumber dan tanggungjawab bagi berurusan dengan semua aspek kecemasan. Pengurusan risiko bencana yang berkesan memerlukan gabungan pengetahuan dan kemahiran. Kitaran Pengurusan Risiko Bencana (DRMC) adalah sebahagian daripada usaha penting yang direkabentuk untuk mengurangkan risiko bencana. DRMC mengandungi empat fasa iaitu tindak balas, pemulihan, mitigasi dan persediaan. Kesan bencana diklasifikasikan kepada kesan teknikal dan kesan bukan teknikal. Kesan teknikal memberi tumpuan kepada pembinaan struktur, penyelenggaraan dan keselamatan manakala kesan bukan teknikal memberi tumpuan kepada kerugian ekonomi, kos pembinaan semula, pengubahsuaian dan kesihatan. Dalam kajian ini, ia bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti kesedaran ahli projek tentang DRMC dalam projek pembinaan. Selain itu, ia juga adalah untuk meneroka pengurusan risiko bencana dan risiko yang berkaitan dengan projek pembinaan. Soal selidik telah diedarkan kepada ahli industri pembinaan dan mangsa-mangsa banjir. Keputusan yang diperoleh berdasarkan kajian menyatakan bahawa majoriti responden adalah kurang sedar tentang DRMC. Selain itu, kajian ini telah mendapati bahawa dalam setiap fasa DRMC, kedua-dua responden profesional dan bukan profesional mempunyai pendapat yang berbeza tentang hierarki jenis-jenis pengurusan risiko bencana dan kesan-kesan bencana.

Technical effects were focused on building structure, maintenance and safety while non-technical effects were focused on economic losses, cost of reconstruction, refurbishment and health. This paper aimed to determine the awareness of project members on DRMC in construction project. Besides, it was also to explore the disaster risk management and related risk that were relevant to a construction project. Questionnaires were distributed to the construction industry players and flood victims. The result obtained based on the survey revealed that majority of respondents did not aware about DRMC.
