As September rolls in, it’s not just the start of the fall season, it’s also National Preparedness Month, a crucial time for families, businesses, and communities to take proactive steps to be ready for unexpected emergencies. This year’s theme, “Start a Conversation”, emphasizes the importance of talking about things that could happen, being prepared for disasters, and ensuring everyone has the tools and knowledge to face potential threats. One of the most significant risks many of us face is flooding, and that’s where Quick Dam comes in.
Why Flood Preparedness is Essential
Flooding is one of the most common and costly natural disasters in the United States. According to FEMA, floods account for 90% of all natural disasters in the country. Whether it’s from heavy rain, hurricanes, leaky/broken plumbing, or rapid snowmelt, flooding can strike with little warning, causing extensive damage to property and putting lives at risk.
Despite its frequency, many people are caught unprepared. This National Preparedness Month is the perfect reminder to assess your flood risk, understand the potential impact, and take steps to mitigate the danger including keeping Quick Dam on hand.
How Quick Dam Can Help
At Quick Dam, we understand the anxiety and stress that comes with flood threats. That’s why we’ve developed a range of flood control products designed to be easy to use, compact for storage, effective, and accessible for everyone. Here’s how Quick Dam can help you stay prepared:
Quick Dam: Your First Line of Defense
-
Flood Bags and Flood Barriers: Quick Dam’s Flood Bags and Flood Barriers are activated by water, expanding to create a barrier that redirects and contains floodwater (Not Saltwater- see alternative products here). They’re lightweight, easy to store, and can be deployed quickly when flood warnings arise.
-
No Sand Required: Traditional sandbags are bulky, heavy, and time consuming to set up. Quick Dam products offer a modern alternative that’s just as effective but far more convenient.
Versatility for Various Scenarios
-
Home Protection: Whether you need to protect doorways, garages, or entire properties, Quick Dam products come in various sizes to fit your needs. Our Flood Barriers, for instance, are ideal for lining doorways or diverting water, while Flood Bags can be stacked to create a higher barrier wherever needed. There are multiple ways you can use both Bag & Barriers to suit your needs.
-
Business and Community Preparedness: Businesses and communities are particularly vulnerable to flood damage. Quick Dam has a variety of products that can scale up to 5 feet to protect larger areas, providing an efficient way to safeguard critical infrastructure.
