[Flood countermeasures] Are you prepared for sudden heavy rain? A “compact” absorbent sandbag that expands just by soaking in water

This year has been one with many “flood damage” incidents. When it comes to flood countermeasures for emergencies, it’s reassuring to have something that’s easier to prepare. It’s reassuring to have an absorbent sandbag that expands just by soaking it in water.

No effort to fill with soil. Just soak in water and it’s done in only 3–4 minutes

When it comes to traditional sandbags, people often feel the barrier is high because “it’s hard to prepare a large amount of soil” and “they’re heavy and take time to get ready.” What solves that problem is the “Water-Expanding Absorbent Sandbag 20kg,” which can be used right away as long as you have water.

Using it is very simple: just lay it flat in fresh water and wait about 3–4 minutes. Each bag absorbs about 20L of water and expands firmly, so even when a sudden downpour or typhoon is approaching, you can start taking action quickly without panicking.

Thin and compact before use! Smart design that doesn’t take up storage space

For disaster-prevention supplies, it’s also important that they don’t get in the way until the moment you need them.

This absorbent sandbag is thin and slim before absorbing water, so it can be neatly stored even in a shoe closet near the entrance or in a small gap in a storage shed. Since there’s no need to stack heavy bags of soil, it’s great that you can keep it on hand without strain even in apartments or homes with limited storage space.

From the entrance to the store entrance. Just line them up for solid protection

Once it has expanded, you’re ready to go just by lining it up without gaps in places you want to protect from water. It’s useful for flood countermeasures in a wide range of situations, from the entrance or back door of your home and the area in front of the garage, to storefronts and office entrances. Because no large-scale construction or special tools are needed, you can install it quickly with the whole family working together, which is reassuring.

The best disaster-prevention items are ones you can incorporate naturally into everyday life. To avoid panicking when sudden heavy rain hits, this is an item you’ll want to keep quietly on hand in the entrance or storage shed.
