Availability of accurate flood maps and adequate understanding of the subsurface conditions can enhance theeffective management of flood disasters. In this study, the GIS and the 2D resistivity imaging had been employedto carry out the preparedness phase of flood management. The objectives of the study include developing floodrisk map and establishing link between the subsurface conditions and flood occurrence. The results showed thatabout 93% of the area is vulnerable to flood occurrence. The subsurface investigations revealed that the area ischaracterized by the presence of thick column of impermeable clayey overburden material. Correlation of 78.57%was established between the thickness of clayey overburden and the flood vulnerability. This suggests that theflood occurrence in the area is largely dependent on geologic factor. The study is useful in reducing flood damagesand planning mitigation measures
