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.

Which are the most vulnerable homes during floods?

MOST VULNERABLE HOMES 1. Buildings, which are constructed with earth-based materials or using stone and brick in mud mortar are highly vulnerable to damage in heavy rains and/or floods. 2. The huts made from biomass materials like bamboo, leaves, thatch or light construction using metal sheets are easily destroyed in floods and washed away. 3. The occupation of areas within the flood plain of rivers has increased the vulnerability, especially in areas of high population concentration. Flood plains attract poor people because of inexpensive land values.
