Our Top 7 Flood Barrier Blog Posts
This summer makes seven years that we’ve been blogging! The last seven years have held so many highs and lows, and we have been honored to be on the emergency call list of so many states and towns during a disaster. If this is your first introduction to Big Bags USA, a quick review is that we make the best flood barriers on the market. They are fast to assemble, extremely sturdy, cost-effective, and even reusable. For communities that are looking for a high-quality flood barrier, Big Bags USA has got your back.
Without further ado, here are the top seven posts we have had over the last seven years! Some are covering old disasters that we’ve had a part in helping. Others are a great introduction to our product!
Hurricane Preparedness Week runs from May 6th to May 12th this year. The National Weather Service is encouraging everyone to take this time to help build a weather-ready nation. Now is the time that we start preparing for the possibility of a land-falling tropical storm or hurricane. Here are some things you can start doing today to prepare for the upcoming Atlantic Hurricane Season …
While some areas of the country are still recovering from Harvey and Irma, another hurricane season is quickly approaching. In just a few short months, the 2018 Hurricane Season will be underway - and this season is expected to be just as active as last year, if not more, according to Global Weather Oscillations. In fact, they are predicting the strongest cycle in 70 years!
Over the weekend, more than a half-foot of rain soaked some locations from northeastern Texas into Arkansas, southern Missouri and the Ohio River Valley, which straddles the border between Kentucky and Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The heavy rain has lead to the wettest February on record for several areas: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with 7.04 inches, Evansville, Indiana with 9.03 inches, Louisville, Kentucky with 10.47 inches and South Bend, Indiana with 8.07 inches. Keep reading to learn more about the increased flooding that is expected in the Ohio River Valley this week, and what can be done in those areas for flood mitigation.
In California, and other fire-prone regions, we see a link between wildfires and mudslides. In today's blog, Big Bags USA® dives into these natural disasters so that people better understand why these mudslides are occurring, and what can be done to protect communities from the devastation associated with these mudslides.
The summer season has arrived, and along with it, summer storms. It's that time of year when flooding ramps up all across the country. From heavy rain to tropical storms and hurricanes, we need to be prepared for any flooding that mother nature may send our way this summer. Keep reading to learn about flood watches and how we can better prepare for the possibility of flooding in our communities.
If you were searching for dewatering ideas, water diversion, cofferdam products, berms, weirs, or temporary barriers, you have found the solution. Big Bags USA construction barrier systems have unmatched versatility to handle the highest demands at a fraction of the costs compared to other products. Big Bags USA heavy-duty construction barriers provide a re-usable alternative to sheet pile cofferdams, sandbag barriers, water barriers, single FIBC bags, super sacks and aqua dams!
It's hurricane season again, and now's the time to start preparing for major tropical storms that could come our way. The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1st to November 30th. However, the peak months for hurricanes are August through early October. Whipping winds, torrential downpours, power outages and flooding are likely in our country's future.
