While many places still use sandbags to try and protect themselves from storm surge and flooding, those can be cumbersome, expensive and dangerous for both you and the environment.
That’s where the Tiger Dam™ System comes in.

Keyano College Implements a Short-term Flood Mitigation Solution

Keyano College had approximately $55 million in property damages resulting from the flood that occurred in the spring of 2020. Flood restoration of critical infrastructure was completed by mid-August 2020, with some remediation still ongoing. As a result, Keyano College has not been able to secure overland flood insurance coverage and has been working with its partners to develop a plan to mitigate risk from future flood events.

“Keyano College is being proactive in our approach to avoid this level of devastation from occurring again. Utilizing a Tiger Dam system affords protection of critical infrastructure and gives the College time to develop a permanent flood mitigation solution,” said Tracy Boyde, Vice President, Infrastructure & CIO.

“The Tiger Dam system will be deployed in April and timed with the river break-up. The College will conduct an annual exercise of deployment as part of our emergency preparedness,” said Dale Mountain, Interim President & CEO.

Some of the most exposed cities are not all developed nations. Many are less developed and at even greater risk because of failing infrastructure. That being said the risk for monetary loss leans more heavily towards developed countries, as wealthier low lying areas and cities have more to lose.

The top ten cities are Miami, New Orleans, Greater New York, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Nagoya, Osaka-Kobe, Tampa-St Petersburg and Virginia Beach.

U.S. Flood Control and Tiger Dams™ has a plan and a system in place to mitigation large areas of shoreline and river exposure.

Get a Plan for Flood Protection

It’s a new year. Do you need a new flood protection plan?

There are many causes of flooding.  Rain fall of a prolonged duration, high winds over water, dam failure, the breakdown of retention ponds and levees, and high snow melt. Flooding can also be forwarded by natural causes like wildfires that can reduce or even devastate vegetation such as low shrubs and indigenous grasses that would normally absorb rainfall.

Because of any of these conditions floods may occur on streams and rivers overflowing their banks into areas known as flood plains.

Even without rainfall the shorelines of lakes and bays can flood due to high winds that blow water into low shorelines.

All coastal areas are vulnerable to high tides and are even more susceptible to high wind, hurricane and storm surges. 

Any of these scenarios can affect your home or commercial properties.
