Sandbag Locations
To assist citizens in flood-prone areas, the City has opened four sandbag locations. Sandbag sites are available at:
- Jack McLean Community Center (700 Paul Russell Rd)
- James Messer Park South (2830 Jackson Bluff Rd)
- Springsax Park (1000 Springsax Rd)
- The south parking lot of the Northwood Centre (1940 North Monroe)
Sandbags are limited to 25 bags per household. Citizens need to bring shovels to fill bags themselves. Locations will not be staffed, but crews will monitor and provide additional sand and bags as needed. The site will be open until the storm threat has passed and it is determined there is no longer a need. Read about The City's storm preparation here.
