      abstract = {Flooding is an environmental hazard that needs appropriate measures to be instituted to stem the tide of occurrence. Floods are one of the most cataclysmic events in the face of the Earth, which are exceptionally unpredictable to demonstrate and difficult to predict at an earlier point of time. The examination of improvement of flood-forecast designs has added to diminish hazard, policy suggestion, minimization of the loss of lives and damage caused to properties due floods. This project was conducted in three selected local government areas of Adamawa North-East Nigeria. These Local Government Areas include Numna LGA, Demsa LGA and Yola North LGA of Adamawa State in North-East Nigeria. To determine the effect and factors contributing to flooding in the study area, a sampled of 3900 households participated in the study. A questionnaire consisting of four sections was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. The study revealed that excess rainfall, poor drainage, poor road design construction and opening of dams are the major causes of floods. The study also indicated that there are seasonal floods which cause negative effects on the respondents such as environment pollution, soil infertility, damages to farm crops, destruction of human lives, animals lives, farmland and properties.},
