Flood Control Solutions for Municipalities
Prevent Flood Damage At Cities & Communities
Flooding in communities throughout the US poses a significant threat to valuable municipal infrastructure. As each calendar year passes, municipal flooding threats increase in frequency. While many believe flooding is solely a coastal community issue, the fact is that all 50 states experience a form of severe flooding throughout the year.
Protecting citizens and community buildings from flooding are the responsibility of municipal emergency management professionals and facility managers. According to the federal government flood maps, there are 14.6 million properties within US communities that are at risk of a 100-year flood and we’ve seen 100-year floods coming much more frequently than projected.
Garrison Flood Barriers can protect doorways, stairwells, loading docks, roadways, electrical equipment and more at municipal and private properties.
Developing a thorough emergency plan to protect your community is imperative and Garrison Flood Control can help be a part of that plan, with easy-to-deploy barrier systems of varying heights and capabilities, designed to re-route, and hold back flood waters.

Most Common Causes of Water Intrusion at Government & Community Facilities:
Severe Storms, Runoff & Flash Floods
Rising Lake Water Levels
Overflowing Rivers and Creeks
Backed Up Sewers or Drains
Inadequate drainage
FEMA’s maps aren’t designed to account for flooding caused by intense rainfall, a growing problem as the atmosphere warms.
Flooding at municipalities results in closed businesses and a reduction in economical development and community welfare.
Flooding is becoming more frequent along the U.S. coastline. Every site measured has experienced an increase in coastal flooding since the 1950s. The rate of increase is accelerating.
