Flood issues will become aggrevated during the COVID-19 pandemic and solutions, especially in environmental education, must be developed to provide relief to affected communities. Students, as the generation who will shape society in future, must be able to contribute ideas to resolve environmental problems. One of the abilities that must be acquired to do so is Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This can be trained by developing a Disaster Mitigation of Floods Based on Online Learning (DIFMOL) education model. This study aims to develop a DIFMOL model to improve students’ HOTS. The research method was adapted from Gall and Borg (2003). The results showed that all students had a very low score of HOTS (28.01), with the male level (28.02) being slightly higher than females (27.99). Meanwhile, the validation results showed that the DIFMOL model had a valid score. This suggested that the model may be used in learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The DIFMOL model is a technology-based 21st-century learning innovation. The study concludes that the students’ HOTS score was low and the DIFMOL model may be used to improve their skills. © 2020.
