Flooding is an issue that requires serious attention from the government, including in the city of Bandar Lampung. Addressing it involves not only environmental conditions and infrastructure development but also the division of authority among the central, provincial, and municipal governments. This study aims to delineate governmental responsibilities for flood management based on Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government. A normative juridical research method was employed, involving an assessment of relevant legislation and literature. The findings indicate that flood management encompasses several governmental domains: public works and spatial planning; public order, public safety, and community protection; and the environment. The division of authority among the central government, the Lampung provincial government, and the Bandar Lampung municipal government is determined by the nature of the specific function and its territorial scope. However, the interconnectedness of these functions may lead to potential overlaps, particularly regarding river management, the construction of flood-control infrastructure, and emergency response. Consequently, legal certainty and coordination across different levels of government are essential to ensure that flood management is carried out in a structured manner, in accordance with the respective responsibilities of each level of government.
