Summary:Tremendous damage during windstorm hit rural housing greatly impacted their roofing system in Northern Peninsular Malaysia. Disaster risk mitigation is crucial to overcome the recurrence of these damaging effect yet still unresolved and worsen by years. The pre-identified risk on wind disaster and role of wind codes were studied to minimize the deterioration impact on the property and life. Purposive sampling was adopted for the total number of 107 respondents participate in this survey. Selection of the experts was based on skills capacity, knowledge, and vulnerable experience due to their involvement in design, build, retrofit, and operate. Pre-identified risk perceptions among expert group was captured using five-point Likert Scale questionnaire survey. The descriptive statistics and index average analysis using SPSS was performed to figure out the importance level of risk identification and the most significant influence factor between the pre-identified risks. This paper aims to explore the wind disaster awareness and risk mitigation perception among the expert. This study acts as a starting point to reconcile on the mismatch expectation and understanding on wind disaster risk mitigation thus, lead to the reduction of disaster risks.
