ABSTRACT:
A system of flood protection for buildings having a foundation which is not permeable to water consists of a lower continuous skirt of plastic film secured by a waterproof seal to the foundation and an upper continuous skirt of plastic film secured to an upper level of the building above the maximum projected rise of flood waters. Both the lower continuous skirt and the upper continuous skirt 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 suitable waterproof sealing means, such as a zip-lock seal, permitting the skirts to be sealed together in water proof relation to protect the building against rising waters. Upper and lower peripheral enclosures are provided on the building in which the upper and lower continuous plastic film skirts are stored when not in use.
