Natural catastrophes like floods, which can have far-reaching consequences on the affected places around the world, can cause catastrophic damage to infrastructure as well as human lives. Floods pose serious risks to both infrastructure and human life, necessitating a variety of structural and non-structural measures. However, flooding continues to be a frequent calamity in Nigeria, leading to significant economic and human losses. In Nigeria, the 2022 flood affected over 1.3 million people, resulting in over 600 fatalities, devastating over 300,000 hectares of crops, damaging over 200,000 homes, and causing cholera outbreaks, significant population displacement, and major property destruction. Those who survive experience distress and impairment along with immediate emotional repercussions, and grief may also have long-term consequences. Also, a catastrophe has psychological ramifications in addition to its immediate social and financial repercussions. This study reviewed secondary data from a journal article. The study emphasises the need for comprehensive identification of post-flood intervention measures, prospects, and constraints in the Nigerian context. Several efforts were made by the government and residents to intervene in the problems of post-flood victims. There is also a need to adopt more proactive, standard, and reliable procedures for effective flood management that can mitigate and offer fast recovery and rehabilitation for flood victims. The conceptual research approach aims to provide an overview of the last two decades, from 2003 to 2023, to identify flood intervention management trends in Nigeria. The purpose of this review is to make a conceptual framework that will help policymakers and stakeholders in understanding, addressing, and implementing post-intervention management for flood victims in Nigeria.
