FIRST72 x Floody® Flood-Barriers

Recent weather events have demonstrated that rivers and streams can rapidly overflow their banks, and rising floodwaters can pose a risk to life and damage property within minutes.

FIRST72 has teamed up with Floody® Flood-Barriers to provide rapidly deployable Flood Barriers to New Zealand in order to reduce risks and protect property from flooding.

Check out how these portable and modular Flood Barriers are being deployed around New Zealand to divert and stop rising flood waters – all within two minutes.

About the Floody® Flood-Barriers:

• 1 Floody® Flood-Barrier = 16 Sandbags: Seven panels give you the protection of 112 sandbags without lifting a spade.

• Modular Design: Clip the barriers together to the required size through straight or curved edges based on an unlimited length.

• Rapidly Deployable: Integrated handles mean you can load the whole kit and deploy it solo within minutes. The modular design also makes for efficient storage inside garages, workshops or sheds.

   

How FIRST72 is using the Floody® Flood-Barriers

Floody isn’t just limited to the protection of personal property for houses, workplaces and individuals. To protect larger areas, such as shopfronts, streets, or flood-prone areas, we also developed the Floody EPOD, which is specifically designed to house flood response equipment in high-risk areas, making it immediately available for rapid deployment.
