Background of the Study
Floods are among the most common natural disasters, often leading to significant health crises. Nurses are integral to disaster response, providing care, support, and coordination during such emergencies. Assessing the role of nurses at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Gombe during flood disasters is vital to understand their contributions and identify areas for improvement.

Objectives of the Study
- To identify the specific roles undertaken by nurses during flood disaster responses at FMC Gombe.
- To assess the challenges faced by nurses in executing their roles during flood disasters.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of nurses' contributions to flood disaster management.
- To propose recommendations for enhancing nurses' roles in future flood disaster responses.

- Challenges such as resource constraints and lack of training hinder effective nursing response during flood disasters.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on nurses at FMC Gombe and their roles during flood disaster responses. It examines the challenges they face and evaluates the effectiveness of their contributions. Limitations may include reliance on self-reported data and the study's restriction to a single institution, which may affect the applicability of the findings to other settings.
