By way of example, a method is disclosed comprising placing a tarpaulin in a location to accommodate a vehicle to be protected in a parked state; parking the vehicle on a surface of the tarpaulin; gathering up the tarpaulin at the front, back, and sides of the vehicle; and securing peripheral edges of the tarpaulin at a height above an expected water level resulting from a flood event.
