Flood proofing performance : successes and failures.

Cover title

This report documents the performance of flood proofed structures that have been tested by floodwater. As part of this documentation, the report focuses on what components of the flood proofing measure were "key" to the success or failure of the measure. The NFPC quickly found that in many cases more could be learned from a failed measure than from a successful measure. Based on this and the purpose of this report which is to provide as much information as possible to make flood proofing successful, more failed measures are documented than successful measures. This report wants to emphasize that the vast majority of flood proofing measures are successful and that flood proofing is a very viable measure for reducing future flood damage
