Abstract
Flooding and drought are two of the most common environmental problems in Andir Urban Village due to its location near a tributary of the Citarum River, its concave geographic structure, and excessive groundwater usage. Traditional approaches that focus on constructing water management structures cannot provide a sustainable solution to these persistent problems in Andir. Thus, increasing resilience in dealing with flooding and drought effectively from different aspects is important. This study uses the Flood Resilience Index (FRI) via several indicators divided into five aspects, i.e., natural, physical, economic, social, and institutional. The Drought Resilience Index (DRI) measures the reliability and vulnerability of clean water supply and demand for local residents. The flood resilience level of Andir Urban Village is low with an FRI of 2.69/5, while the drought resilience level of Andir Urban Village is very low with a DRI of only 2.565/10. The measurements of FRI and DRI in a developing country needs to be done carefully by developing local indicators that are unique and relevant to the country’s setting.

Floods and droughts are water-related disasters that claim lives and cause financial losses
This paper aims to develop an Flood Resilience Index (FRI) and Drought Resilience Index (DRI) specific to the situation in developing countries, such as Indonesia
Green open space is the indicator with the lowest FRI of 0.45
Summary
Floods and droughts are water-related disasters that claim lives and cause financial losses. In Indonesia, total annual financial loss due to floods (IDR 11.29 trillion) and droughts (IDR 1.29 trillion) was estimated at IDR 12.58 trillion and claimed 55 lives in the last decade [3]. The factors that contribute the most in increasing the potential for flooding are high levels of urbanization, poor waste management and climate change [5]. Poor urban planning and urbanization management, as well as the loss of vegetation due to deforestation, will reduce the ability of the soil to absorb rainfall, thereby, drastically increasing the potential for flooding [6]. The use of groundwater as a source of clean water due to poor urban and infrastructure planning may cause land subsidence and increase the risk of flooding in flood prone areas
