Abstract:

A system of flood protection for buildings comprises a lower skirt of plastic film secured by a waterproof seal to the building foundation, an upper skirt of plastic film secured to an upper level of the building above the maximum projected rise of flood waters, and side skirts secured at each side of the upper and lower skirts. The skirts form adjoining continuous enclosures which extend completely around the building and are of a size and shape permitting each skirt to be unfolded or unwound to meet the other. The edges of each skirt have waterproof seals, such as a zip-lock seal, for water proof sealing to protect the building against rising waters. Upper, lower, and side peripheral enclosures are provided on the building in which the respective skirts are stored when not in use. Alternatively, enclosures are provided only for the lower and side skirts. The lower skirt is secured at its lower edge by a waterproof seal to the building foundation and its upper edge is secured to series of fasteners on an upper level of the building above the maximum projected rise of flood waters.
