Cities At Risk with Rising Sea Levels
[three-fifths-first]As sea levels rise more and more global cities become exposed to flooding. Around the world international communities are having to take extreme measures to guard their communities, businesses and properties from the risk of high tides and rising sea levels. See list of cities https://bit.ly/3lOARYL

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.
Tiger Dams™ are water filled bladder technology, when deployed properly, this system may be able to divert up to
100% of floodwaters. Our System can be assembled within minutes using floodwaters or any water source.
Tiger Dams™ fill in as little as 90 seconds, with minimal man power and no heavy equipment. Each tube weighs 65 lbs. dry and 6300 lbs. when filled with water. They roll up for easy storage after each deployment.
Many large cities like New York and Miami already have Tiger Dams™ systems in place to protect most exposed areas of their cities.
Call U.S Flood Control for information on a Tiger Dam™ system for your city, town, or property. (866) 852-1118

U.S. Flood Control & Tiger Dam Miami Fire Fighters Training
Being prepared for flooding is the number one thing you can do to prevent flood damage to home & property.
Detailed deployment instructions and training video are available upon request/purchase
Tiger Dams™ emergency flood control equipment is typically shipped in 50 foot sections on 4×4 skids.Tubes are 50 feet in length when they are filled (54 feet when empty) and the tubes are 19 inches in height. Each section is inspected, tested and certified prior to shipping. After a safety inspection of the deployment site, Tiger Dams™ are laid out, joined together and prepped for filling.
The Dams™ are filled individually and secured with straps and anchors if needed. If more than on layer in height is required, the second layer of dams are laid out and prepped for filling. Once they are filled they are also secured. The same deployment steps are followed with subsequent levels. After the flood waters have receded and the dam is no longer required, the system can be drained, cleaned and packaged for storage.
The emergency flood control equipment (US Flood Control Emergency Diversion Tiger Dams™) has had extensive testing thoroughly at the University of British Columbia facilities.
SETUP TIME
Each dam takes only minutes to fill with water, using a fire hydrant or pump.
