Sandbags

If severe weather is in the forecast, it's important to think ahead about flood bags. Flood defense starts before the rains come. Small sandbags, or any size to fit a community's needs, can be stacked to form effective flood barriers and retaining walls in and around homes and buildings in flood prone areas. Placed around drains and inlets, small sandbags for flood protection can also limit Stormwater Runoff.
