Emergency Exit Flood Door
Reliable Flood Protection With Emergency Access
One of the challenges with having flood panels that cover most of the entryway when deployed is that people can't easily leave or enter the building, which isn't always feasible when operations need to continue. Our emergency exit flood door solves this problem by combining strong, certified flood protection with a built-in emergency escape, so people can stay safe while the business keeps running.
Our flood door is engineered to solve both challenges by integrating an emergency escape door directly into the flood panel. This design allows flood panels to be deployed, keeping floodwaters out while still providing a secure and reliable exit route when it's needed.
How the FRA Emergency Exit Flood Door Works
The emergency exit flood door is installed directly within the FRA Flood Panel, combining protection and safety in one integrated system. The emergency escape door gives occupants a dependable exit route even in the middle of a flood event when panels are already deployed.

Keep Water Out, Keep People Safe
Flooding can turn a building's weakest points into its greatest risks. Traditional doors are often the first to fail, yet they remain critical for safe evacuation. At Flood Risk America, we understand that true safety means more than keeping water out. It's also about protecting the people who rely on the building to stay open, including essential services like hospitals, medical centers, industrial buildings, and commercial properties.
With decades of experience behind us, we know what works, and we deliver flood solutions that protect not just the building, but the people who use it - because true flood resilience protects people and property.
