Abstract
A flood protection apparatus includes an adjustable base, a first water level detector, and a controller. The adjustable base supports the container and is operable to adjust a height of the container. The first water level detector is mounted on the base. When the first water level detector detects water has reached the first level, the first water level detector outputs a first detection signal. The controller receives the first detection signal to activate the base to heighten the container, until the first detection signal ceases or the base is at a highest point.
