In the face of extreme rainfall caused by climate change, the operational safety of businesses in Taiwan is under unprecedented pressure. The painful lessons from past floods serve as a stark reminder: with the flood season approaching, only early preparation and enhanced resilience can minimize risks.

International-Grade Flood Protection Standards

Approximately 80% of global flood losses are concentrated in high-risk flood zones, where the risk of damage far exceeds that of fires or explosions. To ensure the reliability of flood protection equipment, FM Approvals conducts rigorous testing based on the ANSI/FM 2510 standard, evaluating multiple dimensions such as material strength, sealing performance, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance. Only certified flood protection products can truly safeguard your assets when floodwaters strike.

Key Flood Prevention Action Points

1. Precise Risk Assessment

• Collect water level data for 100-year and 500-year recurrence intervals to identify potential vulnerabilities such as factory entrances and basements.
• Use simulation software to predict flood depth, flow velocity, and pressure impact, and conduct safety assessments based on international standards.
• Based on the analysis, determine the required flood protection height, provide specific design recommendations, and compile a comprehensive risk assessment report.

2. Strengthen Physical Defenses

• Relocate critical equipment and materials to higher ground or evacuate underground areas.
• Deploy FM-certified quick-install snap-lock flood barriers to swiftly seal all openings, completely blocking floodwater intrusion.

3. Establish a Flood Emergency Response Plan (FERP)

• Develop early warning mechanisms and clearly define responsibility assignments, including safe shutdown procedures for production lines and power systems.
• Formulate plans for asset evacuation, post-disaster recovery, and cleanup to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

Flood Prevention Strategies for Buildings and Facilities

New Construction

• Incorporate flood risk simulations from the site selection stage. If high-risk areas cannot be avoided, integrate rapidly deployable FM-certified flood protection systems to reduce earthwork costs and shorten construction timelines.

Existing Facilities

• Elevate critical equipment, install flood doors or barriers, and adjust inventory levels as needed to minimize losses caused by flooding.
