Based on the geographical report, Kerala, A state of India, is not a flood prone area. However, 2018 August Kerala was facing devastating monsoon Flood, which was the worst monsoon flood in a century. Since it was the first experience of people of Kerala, they were shocked and were not prepared to overcome the worst situation of the flood. More than 200 people including kids were killed and washed away. Based on the recent report, Since Kerala is not being the flood-prone area, flood education is not counted as a major topic in the higher education curricula. We are here providing a report on the necessity of including flood education as a major subject in the higher education towards the awareness and prevention of devastating situation of the flood at Kerala in future.
