Flooding occurs when rainfall exceeds the absorption capacity of soil and causes significant environmental consequences. In this study, electrical resistivity techniques were employed to assess the flood susceptibility of the study area by examining variations in electrical properties. Prior to flooding, Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) profiles were conducted to determine the variations in resistivity within subsurface lithologies exposed to the injected current. The injected current penetrated the subsurface units characterised by resistivity ranging from 190.5 Ω·m to 6,775.7 Ω·m, 42.3 Ω·m to 7,297.4 Ω·m, and 320.2 Ω·m to 24,433.3 Ω·m in the first, second and third layers, respectively. These layers were identified as lateritic topsoil, medium-coarse brownish grained sand, and coarse pebbly blackish sand, respectively. The calculated reflection coefficients between layers 1, 2, and 3 reveal alternation in layers with values ranging from −0.04 to 0.66 and 0.36 to 0.95 for
