FloodSax® Delivers 2,500 Sandless Sandbags to Oroville Dam for Emergency Flood Response
Rancho Santa Margarita, Ca (PRWEB) March 02, 2017 -- FloodSax® USA, the #1 Selling Sandbag Alternative, offered the perfect solution when it came to the flooding emergency at Oroville Dam this February. With record rainfall from storms hitting most parts of California, especially in Northern regions, Oroville Dam reached maximum capacity. Catastrophe hit, when the Oroville Dam spillway began to crumble, forcing them to use an emergency reservoir that has never been used before. In caution, officials evacuated over 188,000 homes. Throughout the storm and in preparation, the state Department of Water Resources have setup use of traditional sandbags, large rock filled bags, but with too little resources on sandbagging and setup, they decided to turn to FloodSax® Sandless Sandbags.
While the state Department of Water Resources have put many sandbags and large rockbags in use, the flooding emergency required more sandbags…and immediate deployment. With a serious situation at hand and already limited manpower, the state Department of Water Resources decided to work with a trusted flood barrier solution; FloodSax®. In response to an urgent call, FloodSax® USA worked quickly and closely with their logistics team to deliver over 2,500 bags of FloodSax® instant sandbags. Delivery occurred in less than 1 day of the initial Saturday emergency phone call and FloodSax® were delivered to the Oroville Dam, to help divert the dam break water flows.
Racing against time, the California State Department of Water Resources needed to build a flood barrier wall at over 3 feet in height and over 100 feet long to divert fast flowing waters. Understanding that FloodSax® offer an effective and unique patented design, it was an easy decision to go with FloodSax®. FloodSax® will continue to work closely with officials and the geologists involved at the Oroville Dam to ensure effective flood damage mitigation.
