AA Grab & Go Emergency Flood Barrier - 2 Pack

When rain turns quickly, having flood protection ready to go can make all the difference. The AA Grab & Go Emergency Flood Barrier is designed to be stored compactly, then activated with water when needed to help contain or divert minor floodwater. Each barrier expands on contact with water and swells to full size within minutes. Use the two barriers together to cover wider areas, or stack them where a little extra height is needed. Suitable use: For minor, localised flooding in non-coastal areas, especially near doorways and entry points. Not suitable for: Coastal flooding, saltwater exposure, heavy storm surge, deep floodwater or fast-moving water. These are NOT for use with salt water (as a chemical reaction will occur causing deflation), or in flash/extreme flooding. Prioritise your safety and always follow Police and Civil Defence instructions. Why it matters Flood preparation does not need to mean storing heavy sandbags. These lightweight barriers are easy to keep on hand, simple to deploy and designed for minor, localised flooding around entry points. Once activated, they can be left in place for up to three months during rainy periods and will continue to reactivate when exposed to water. Barrier is fully biodegradable. After use, simply cut open the sleeve and leave the contents in direct sunlight, where they will fully decompose in a few days.

A: It helps contain and divert mild, localised floodwater. It is best used near doorways or entry points where water may start to enter. Q: How does the flood barrier activate? A: The barrier activates when it comes into contact with water. It swells to full size within minutes. Q: Can I pre-soak the barrier before heavy rain arrives? A: Yes, the barrier can be pre-soaked when bad weather is expected. This means it can be ready before water reaches the area you want to protect. Q: How long can the barrier stay in place? A: It can be left in place for up to three months after first use. It will continue to reactivate when exposed to water during that period. Q: Can the two barriers be stacked? A: Yes, the two barriers can be stacked for extra height. This can help where slightly higher water diversion is needed. Q: Is this a replacement for permanent flood protection? A: No, this is for mild, localised flood preparation. It should not be positioned as protection for severe flooding, storm surge, deep water or fast-moving water unless verified. Q: What size is each barrier once activated? A: Each barrier is 1.5 m long and 9 cm high when fully activated. Q: Is the AA Grab & Go Emergency Flood Barrier biodegradable? A: Yes, it is fully biodegradable. After use, the sleeve can be cut open and the contents left in direct sunlight to decompose. Q: How do I dispose of the flood barrier after use? A: Cut open the sleeve and leave the contents in direct sunlight. The material will fully decompose in a few days. Q: Can I use this flood barrier in coastal areas? A: No, this barrier is for non-coastal use only. Saltwater can cause it to deflate and lose effectiveness. Q: Is it suitable for storm surge or seawater flooding? A: No, it is not suitable for storm surge, seawater or coastal flooding. It is designed for mild, localised freshwater flooding.
