Zero International, headquartered in Bronx, N.Y., has introduced a new, removable barrier that helps protect doors and household contents from water ingress in flood-prone areas.

According to a company news release, when water from heavy rains accumulates on porches or patios, Zero's #2070 Flood Barrier Shield blocks up to a foot or more of flood waters from permeating door openings and complies with standards of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Federal Insurance Administration for use on doors in flood-prone areas.

Available in vertical sections of 10, 20 and 30 inches, the barrier shield requires no tools for insertion into a pair of pre-mounted vertical channels attached to either the door frame or adjacent walls. The Flood Barrier Shield is a lightweight, flat sheet of aluminum with closed cell sponge neoprene rubber engineered to create a watertight seal.
