Revolutionary Flood Control FloodBreak has changed traditional flood mitigation. FloodBreak is founded on a simple concept - using hydrostatic pressure created by the rising flood waters - to automatically deploy the flood gate. There is no need for people or power to activate the system. When the water recedes, the gate returns to its underground, hidden location allowing normal pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow.
Why FloodBreak?
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) clearly states its preference for passive flood control measures- protecting against flooding without the use of power or human intervention. Historically, the only methods for protecting building entrances, driveway ramps, vent gratings, and other vulnerable paths have been the use of active flood control measures. These measures require power systems (which fail during floods) or human intervention (which puts people and systems at risk of danger and error).
