My house is very near flood waters. How\Where can I get sand bags?

Question

The flood waters are nearing my house. Are there places that assist with supplying sand bags and sand. Any advice on where to go would be helpful.

Answer 1

By going to your city council or local community, sand bags are easily attainable. There are always some in stock on their behalf in case of emergencies (that would be yours, as you are near flood waters) and therefore, I'm sure you can grab some from there.

If not, going down to your local gardening store or even picking some up from the beach/lake can also allow for easy sandbagging. You might want to also invest in buying tarps and other water proof materials to protect you.

If things are worse, get your community to help you (neighbours OR the city council)

Answer 2

if it is that close look around most times communities will have sand piles and community zones on street corners to assist with sandbagging,also go to a community equipment yards that is were most emergency operations will be coordinated from and you can get the info you need .or contact your town councillor and they should be able to tell you

Answer 3

instead of sand bags, check out flood insurance.

Lowes

Walmart

your local government buildings

home depot
