The height of the electric panel board in your Dallas home is regulated by a building code and must be a minimum of a foot above a potential flood elevation for your house. If it is not, call a licensed electrician or a licensed flood damage contractor to elevate all your electric outlets and wiring at least a foot above potential flood damage elevation for your home.
