<br />WARNING <br /> <br />Flooding can be a dangerous situation. Where flood depths and <br />velocities can be substantial, life and limb can be threatened. <br />Keep this in mind as you consider the various methods to deal <br />with flooding. <br /> <br />This manual is intended to present ideas, not guaranteed solutions, <br />to protect your house from flood damage. The success of many of <br />these ideas depends on local soil, the structural condition of <br />your house, and the type of flooding that will occur. <br /> <br />The Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Water <br />Resources recommends that before you invest a lot of money you <br />should consult with an engineer. We strongly recommend this if <br />you are considering j1oodwalls, elevating your house, dry flood- <br />proofing, or another method that depends on a man-made structure <br />to resist the effects of floodwaters. <br /> <br />ii <br /> <br />'"-- <br />
