For keeping things off the floor for flood protection try using bread
trays laid upside down. They will be about 4-6" in height. Get two or
three and put some wood across them. Often they are damaged and are
tossed by the delivery guys. Also some anti-fatigue mattes serve the
same purpose in just getting things an inch or two above the floor, but
they are lower. Both let air circulate and keep the area from getting
moldy smelling.

For what it is worth - I have been using plastic hangers my wife was
going to dispose of to shim stuff off of the basement floor, in hopes
of minimizing water damage when I get water in the basement. Next move
is to find some old plastic shelving that I can shim as a platform for
cardboard containers and the like. My flooding problems are not nearly
on a scale as Fred's, I just want a place for the water to flow freely
towards the floor drain when it happens.
