With the level in Okanagan Lake expected to continue rising this week, completion of a temporary dam system along the Penticton waterfront’s most vulnerable points could not have come sooner.
After last years epic flooding in Kelowna and Penticton, Kelowna prepares for this years expected rise in water levels in the area due to the melting snow pack and rain fall.
BC Wildfire services set up Tiger Dams™ in preparation.

Tiger Dams™ will be at the conference in general to promote our product to the insurance industry as a way to minimize loss during floods.
Tiger Dams™ is a 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.
Visit us for more information at booth #2151 at the RIMS GO BIG 2018 annual conference in San Antonio.
Sandbags are labour intensive, are very costly and can cause enormous environmental hazards
Traditional sandbagging using a backhoe and thousands of volunteers can take days or even weeks to put up a dike to protect from oncoming floods. When the flood is over, try to find a single volunteer to remove the dirty rotting sandbags.
Sandbags hold contaminants like sewage, pollution, riverbank seepage, bacteria, bio hazards, etc. It is a federal mandate, that sandbags cannot simply be dumped in the local landfill, but must be taken away and disposed of as hazardous materials, at a great expense.
