Levee Management Guidelines
A temporary levee system is a removable flood protection system. It is installed shortly before or during a flood. It is removed when floodwaters have receded.
Temporary levees are constructed using temporary materials or items. This includes sandbags, plastic sheeting, water bladders, metal sheets and compacted earthen embankments.
They can be used in any location but don't offer the same level of protection as a permanent levee system.
