Sandbags are available to residents free of charge. Residents are reminded that the City Sandbag Distribution Policy is designed to assist in the protection of private property only during storm emergency conditions. Please note the following:

Bring your own gloves and shovels and be prepared to fill the bags you need. Fill your sandbags halfway so they are not too heavy to lift and can be stacked properly. You may take 20 sandbags per trip. To learn how to fill and stack sandbags, watch the video.
