ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle flood protection apparatus and method includes a lower plastic container or cover member having a rectangular bottom panel and integrally joined end, and side panels that have lateral edges joined to form a leak proof vehicle container or bag. The end and side panels have a vertical height that is less than the height of a vehicle to be flood protected but well above the float level for the vehicle type and of sufficient height that, when surrounded by flood waters, the container floats with the vehicle carried therein. The upper edges of the side and end panels have elastic and/or drawstring snugging devices to snug the upper edges against the vehicle. A top cover member is fitted over the upper edges of the bottom cover in a way so as to shed rain water and/or splashing floor waters. A tether or anchor device secures the lower plastic container member to a stationary object.
