If you can expect your basement to flood, it would be important to store all your belongings in plastic containers that have lids. In addition, you want to install shelves that start at about one foot off of the ground. This will most likely prevent water from reaching your belongings. Also, if your home is common to basement floods, you may want to look into basement waterproofing.
