Protecting Your Property from Flooding

FEMA has published a series of "how-to" design guides for applying flood-protection measures to electrical systems, physical structure, and exterior wells. These guides include Add Waterproof Veneer to Exterior Walls; Anchor Fuel Tanks; Build with Flood-Resistant Materials; Dry Floodproof Your Building; Install Sewer Backflow Valves; Protect Wells From Contamination by Flooding; Raise Electrical System Components; and Raise or Floodproof HVAC Equipment.

These 2-page guides are available at no cost from the FEMA Library or by contacting the FEMA Distribution Center at 1-800-480-2520.
