ABSTRACT
This chapter starts with an examination of the practices that orang susah nowadays typically exhibit in relation to floods, thus characterizing the susah risk style. While the patrons of orang susah generally trust the image that they are presented with by the beneficiary, their aid institutions are not located within the kampong and hence they have an incomplete perspective on the living circumstances of the inhabitants. Nevertheless, orang susah such as Yati and Kurdi generally take no autonomous and preventive actions in the face of floods and other risks, but instead invest in reciprocal relationships with institutions that support them with economic resources after disasters have struck. The chapter clear that both the orang antisipasi and the orang ajar feel that they have sufficient skills or opportunities to handle the risk of flooding as long as this concerns the familiar environment of Bantaran Kali.
