It depends on the type of flood. If its a large one in a poor country, people may leave for around 3-5 months depending on the security of the place. However if its an ongoing flood, they may be relocated to somewhere else. If not, I'm sure around a 1-2 month leave would be for a small flood.

The duration of time people may need to be away from their homes during a flood can vary depending on various factors such as the severity of the flood, the extent of damage to the home, and the time it takes for the floodwaters to recede. In some cases, it could be a matter of days or weeks, while in more severe cases, it could take months or even longer for people to be able to return safely to their homes.
