  1. Without even a measurement, look to the old practices for houses - second story with strong frame for anything of value, ground floor stuff is disposable or cleanable. now what to do about the car ….. i grew up in rice country. All houses were elevated with a least a crawl space if not a second story. Floods were only an inconvenience. Pity the poor souls that build on grade since it is a little cheaper. But we all pay in terms of the cost of insurance and devastation from their risk taking. Cyclones on the other hand…
  2. Maybe that is Mean Sea Level ? 2nd floor and a bicycle ????
  3. Maybe the government organization responsible for flood water management already has maps for your area ? Satellite lidar or gps would get you close, but they have to be referenced to a known point with a known elevation. The location could flood from local rainfall, floodwater runoff from upstream , or sea tides or all of the above. Been there, done that. So, knowing the elevation relative to the peak tides with any future proofing may not be enough.
