Banjir adalah bencana alam yang paling sering terjadi di Nigeria Tenggara, terjadi setiap tahun dan mengakibatkan kerugian yang signifikan dari kehidupan dan properti, infrastruktur, dan bisnis, serta peningkatan risiko penyakit. Ini telah menjadi kejadian tahunan di kota-kota Nigeria, khususnya di zona Tenggara (negara bagian Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, dan Imo), yang merupakan pusat perusahaan negara itu, menghasilkan penyerbuan ekonomi di negara-negara tersebut selama musim hujan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai dampak sosial ekonomi dari banjir di Nigeria Tenggara, serta langkah-langkah strategis yang harus diambil pemerintah dan warga negara untuk mengurangi ancaman banjir untuk pembangunan jangka panjang. Studi ini melihat seberapa sering responden terpapar banjir dan apakah paparan itu berdampak pada aktivitas sosial ekonomi mereka. Data untuk penelitian dikumpulkan melalui distribusi kuesioner kepada 100 responden di wilayah tersebut. Dalam analisis data, persentase sederhana, frequency tabel distribusi, dan diagram batang digunakan. Studi ini juga menemukan bahwa ketika insiden banjir meningkat, begitu juga dampak sosial ekonomi pada negara bagian. Berdasarkan hasil di wilayah penelitian, terjadi peningkatan kejadian banjir yang merupakan peningkatan dampak sosial ekonomi pada wilayah penelitian. Di antara negara bagian, Anambra memiliki insiden banjir tertinggi. Peramalan dan prediksi banjir harus dikembangkan dengan baik menggunakan teknik standar modern untuk membuat prediksi tersebut.

Flooding is the most frequent natural disaster in Southeastern Nigeria, occurring every year and resulting in significant losses of life and property, infrastructure, and business, as well as an increased risk of illness. It has become an annual occurrence in Nigerian cities, particularly in the South Eastern zones (Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo states), which are the country's corporate hubs, resulting in an economic stampede in those states during the wet seasons. The study's goal was to assess the socioeconomic effects of flooding in South-Eastern Nigeria, as well as the strategic steps that the government and citizens should take to mitigate the flood threat for long-term development. This study looked at how frequently respondents were exposed to floods and if that exposure has an impact on their socioeconomic activity. The data for the study was gathered through a questionnaire distribution to 100 respondents in the region. In the data analysis, simple percentages, frequency distribution tables, and bar charts were used. The study also discovered that as the incidence of flooding increases, so does the socioeconomic impact on the states. Based on the result in the study region, there is an increase in flood incidence which amounts to an increase in socioeconomic impacts on the study area. Among the states, Anambra has the highest flood incidence. Flood forecasting and prediction must be well-developed using modern standard techniques for making such predictions.
