The big picture
In a country where floods are becoming an everyday threat, FloodX is stepping in with a shift in mindset: from reacting to disasters to preventing them. The Singapore-based flood protection company, now officially partnered with Scottsdale Corp. in the Philippines, is arming Filipinos with advanced, easy-to-deploy defenses for homes and businesses.
Why it matters
Flooding is no longer confined to typhoon season. Families and small businesses face increasing risks to safety, property, and livelihoods. FloodX aims to deliver peace of mind by providing technology that minimizes disruption, protects investments, and enhances resilience.
"We are moving everyone beyond merely reacting to floods," said FloodX co-founder Brian Mooney. "With FloodX, we are empowering communities to proactively defend themselves. The technologies we offer reliably protect properties at risk of flood damage and save lives."
Driving the news
FloodX offers more than a single product line. Its catalog spans demountable barriers, water-activated “FX Water Bags” and “FX Water Snakes,” and permanent glazed barriers. These systems are engineered for speed, adaptability, and long-term durability—qualities critical in a country prone to flash floods.
Between the lines
The preventive approach isn’t just about property—it’s about livelihoods. By safeguarding shops and offices from damage and downtime, FloodX helps ensure faster recovery for businesses.
"Bringing FloodX to the Philippines wasn't just a business decision; it was a commitment to equipping our communities with the best possible tools to safeguard lives, livelihoods, and infrastructure," said Scottsdale Corp. president Cheriza Manalang.
What’s next
With products rigorously tested to global engineering standards and tailored for local conditions, FloodX and Scottsdale envision their solutions becoming embedded in disaster risk management frameworks nationwide. For Filipinos, flood resilience is shifting from aspiration to reality. —Ed: Vanessa Hidalgo
