On a previous plot I had which was on a slope and was subject to flooding I dug a trench around the perimeter and fitted bits of 4" pipe in it.
The pipes were butt jointed so any water that flowed went into the joint and was carried away (at least the majority of it did)
But if it does flood keep off it until it dries out or you will do more damage than the water did i.e. you will compact it and alter the structure of the soil.
Having said that, I grew some good stuff on that plot so don't be put off, the flooding doesn't remain forever, and good luck with your new plot.
