A DIY product which the manufacturers claim stops flood water coming in through doors 100%, looks like a possible relatively low cost solution for many of the flooded households.

If this system works, and looking at this video, it does, then the cost of fitting would be negligible compared to insurance claims and time taken to fill and distribute sand bags. Nowpublic flood related articles:

Thank you Brian A

They give a 30 day money back guarantee so
lets hope some of the flood victims will try it. For just £125 (USD$253.61) + P&P it looks
worth it. The time to use this is really before your flooded out but I can see
it being useful even afterwards.

In the US they have introduced the Insurance industry initiative to reduce deaths, injuries,
property damage, economic losses and human suffering caused by natural
disasters.
