Abstract

A flexible waterproof flood protection container (10) for protecting possessions from flood water, comprises a variable volume housing (12) into which possessions can be placed and which can be water tightly sealed; means for stabilising the sealed housing (12) when subjected to flood water, and two or more one-way valves (26) for discharging air from the housing (12). The in use stabilising means defines two or more chambers (46) in the housing (12) as the interior volume of the housing (12) varies. The chambers (46) stabilise the housing (12) when buoyant in flood water. The two or more one-way valves (26) discharge air from the housing (12) via the chambers (46), each one-way valve in use being in direct communication with one of the chambers (46) defined by the stabilizing means. Due to the variable volume housing (12), when the housing (12) is subjected to external pressure, the housing (12) at least partially conforms to the possessions therein. Preferably, the housing (12) has at least an expandable base (18) by which the volume of the housing (12) varies in use.
