Keep Your Sandbags for the Next Storm

Posted On: November 4, 2024

Residents are encouraged to take proactive measures by saving their sandbags. Rather than discarding them after use, residents can empty the dirt and store the bags for reuse.

When packing away sandbags, carefully remove the sand or dirt from the bags. If the contents are still wet, allow them to dry out first. Rinse out any remaining debris to keep the bags in good condition. Fold the bags neatly and store them in a dry, accessible location. Avoid direct sunlight to prolong their lifespan.

Sandbags are an effective tool for flood prevention, and reusing them can save time and resources during critical weather events. By taking these simple steps, residents can help protect their homes from future flooding risks.
