We did have 18" thick stone walls. Back when I did that, flood warnings

BTW don't forget that, in most properties, water can get under the
floor through air bricks, so they need protection too.

If you have a downstairs toilet, that needs blocking too.

The stress of the impending flood will probably provide sufficient
material to do that.

But yes, it's where you see a lot of the nastier stuff come in.
