FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Sandless sandbags?
Yes — they store flat and swell with water when deployed, far easier than hauling and filling traditional sandbags at the last minute. Keep a stack in the garage; deploy at doors and drains.
Sump pump with battery backup?
Yes — flooding often comes with power outages; a battery-backup sump keeps pumping when the grid drops. A water-powered backup is another option if you have municipal water.
Water alarms?
Yes — cheap sensors near the water heater, washer, and low spots alert you to a leak before it becomes a flood. The $15 item that prevents a $15,000 claim.
Route to high ground?
Yes — flooded roads are the leading cause of flood deaths ("turn around, don't drown"). Know your high-ground route in advance; 6 inches of moving water moves a car.

Flood prep kit and my go-bag share the cheap-insurance gospel — sandless sandbags and a battery-backup sump are the wrench-by-the-meter of water. Route to high ground in advance, agreed.
