The theory used in this study is actuating theory according to G.R Terry and the flood control method used in this study is the method of handling emergency conditions according to Roberts J Kodoatie which consists of three important indicators, namely: flood prevention preparation, flood inspection, flood control coordination. The selection of research informants used the snowball sampling technique. Data collection techniques in this study are by interview, observation and documentation. The results of this study indicate that flood control management in Pekanbaru City especially in terms of handling flood emergency conditions conducted by the Public Works and Spatial Planning Service has not gone well because it only implemented two important indicators in handling flood emergency conditions, namely: flood prevention preparation and countermeasures coordination floods, but flood inspection indicators are not well implemented.
