Device for forming a temporary seal for flood protection

A device, comprising:

• a package;
• and
• a plurality of individual sections of a non-hardening moldable material positioned within the package, each of the individual sections of the moldable material having an axial length and a lateral width that is transverse to the axial length, the axial length being greater than the lateral width, wherein, when viewed in a cross-section taken through the individual sections of non-hardening moldable material in a direction transverse to the axial length, each of the individual sections of the non-hardening moldable material have a non rectangular cross-sectional configuration for substantially the entire axial length of each of the individual sections of the non-hardening moldable material and wherein the individual sections of the moldable material are positioned adjacent one another and adjacent a first structure to be sealed, the first structure being operatively coupled to a second structure comprising an opening wherein the first structure to be sealed is adapted to be moved from an open position to a closed position, and vice versa, relative to the opening in the second structure, such that, when the first structure to be sealed is moved to the closed position relative to the opening in the second structure, the individual sections of the non-hardening moldable material are deformed to form a substantially contiguous temporary seal against water encroachment between the first structure and at least a portion of the opening in the second structure, where the individual sections of the non-hardening moldable material forming the substantially contiguous temporary seal against water encroachment are further removed from the first structure and at least a portion of the opening in the second structure.
