Unless it is in a flood area where nothing electrical can be under 8' of
the floor. Some coastal areas require 8' ASL.

like one of the other replies said, if you get over 4' of water, the
electrical outlet is the least of your worries.


A fellow I worked with has had 6' of water in his basement a few times. Not
a problem. He lives next to a river and is prepared for it.
