Gel-Filled Water-Absorbing Flood Bags
Instant Flood Response with Minnow™ Water-Activated Bags in Lee County
Lee Flood Protection proudly offers Minnow™—a fast, space-saving alternative to traditional sandbags. These compact, water-activated bags are perfect for quick deployment during unexpected storms or rising water threats across Lee County.
Unlike regular sandbags that require heavy lifting and crew support, Minnow™ bags contain a high-absorption gel that swells on contact with water, instantly creating a reliable barrier against floodwaters. Lightweight and easy to store, they ship flat and only expand when needed, saving both time and effort at the scene.
Ideal for doorways, garages, and entry points, Minnow™ bags eliminate the mess of sand while delivering powerful flood protection. In emergency situations where every second counts, these smart bags should be a key part of your flood preparedness kit.
