Jennifer,
There are approximately 1,600,000 Flood Prevention bags (pictures above)- this would be 76 Truckloads , 20,800 Flood Bags per truck and depending on size of Flood Bags you will be able to eliminate between 100,000 to 200,000 Gallons of Water within minutes with each truckload of Flood Prevention bags, please read below to see how this is done.
The Water Activating agent that is in each Flood bag is a water absorbent polymer which in fact can be used as a source of aeration for grass and plants after Flood bags have been used (they are 100% biodegradable).
Your cost $1.80 per Bag FOB Kansas City (we can give you delivered price once we receive order- we can ship by UPS, LTL by the Pallet or Truckload).
Name
| Qty
| Dimensions & Cost
|
FB bags
| 729,000 available
| size dimensions 25 ½ “ L x 14” W) 25 per case x $1.80 = $45.00 case cost of 25 Flood Bag (FB1) + Shipping
|
RPD (Snake Style) bags
| 156,400 available
| (size dimensions 97” L x 8” W ) 30 per case x $1.80 = $54.00 case cost of 30 RPD Flood Bags + Shipping
|
Flood Kits
| 85,000 Kits
| (Each Kit has 6 FB Bags & 2 RPD Bags for total of 680,000 bags) 8 per kit x $1.80 = $14.40 per Flood Bag Kit of 8 Flood Bags + Shipping
|
Total Flood bags 729,000 + 156,400 + 680,000 = 1,565,000 Flood Bags

You can view an 8 minute National Guard video at our website ( www.OSheaEmergency.com ) showing how they redirect water by using our Water Activated Flood Prevention bags, whether it is a Weather related disaster or an occurrence such as the recent water main break in Los Angeles which dumped 8 million gallons of water in 11 hours and then into second day as much as 20 million gallons. If Los Angeles had these bags in stock they could have delivered these Flood Bags to disaster scene to immediately begin the process of eliminating the water, these Flood bags fill up in 2 minutes.
Every City should have a supply of our Flood Prevention bags in their Emergency Stock and when you view this short video I think you will see importance of what would have happened if they had been able to immediately access these bags (these bags fill up in less than 2 minutes). Every City in the United States has a central worry and that is the condition of the Infrastructure of our City Utilities and if a Water Pipe breaks then the next thing is “What do we do with this excess water?”. That is where our Water Activated Flood Bags come in to play, and each bag will absorb the water in 2 minutes (4 to 10 gallons per bag depending on size of bag) These Flood bags help redirect and contain the water from further damaging other Utilities (gas, electricity and roads), protect against public & private property damage, and the process that used to take 20 men with shovels filling sandbags can now be handled by one man and a pick-up truck full of flood bags. The ability to deploy these bags at a moment’s notice would give your city the opportunity to prevent millions of dollars in damages, and hazards that would endanger lives!
This product is also completely biodegradable and environmentally safe. Besides flooding it is also excellent for chemical spills.
Below is breakdown of how many gallons of water are eliminated immediately with the quantity of bags we have available:
Bag
| Dimensions
| Water absorbed by bag.
|
1,239,000 Flood bags
| 25 ½” x 14”
| will absorb 4 gallons of water into bag in 2 minutes = 5,000,000 gallons of water(filling Flood bags in 2 minutes).
|
326,000 RPD Flood Bags
| 97” x 8”
| will absorb 10 gallons of water into bag in 2 minutes = 3,260,000 gallons of water (filling Flood Bag in 3 minutes). |
Thank you,
