Flooding remains a persistent threat to commercial and institutional facilities, capable of causing lasting structural and operational damage. This video explores how facility managers can better understand, document and mitigate flood risks. Featuring insights from Megan Abadie, civil engineer at Engineering Design & Testing Corp., the video explains the different types of flooding — from waterway overflow to pluvial events — and why topography, elevation and stormwater systems play a critical role in how water moves around a facility. Preparation, awareness and thorough documentation are key for keeping operations resilient and water outside the building.
