These strategically placed stations offer free sandbags to assist residents in fortifying their properties against potential flooding. Open from dawn to dusk, these locations provide a window of opportunity for residents to access the necessary resources.

Authorities emphasize the importance of early preparation, given the unpredictable nature of weather patterns. By taking advantage of these free resources, residents can play a pivotal role in minimizing the impact of adverse weather conditions on their homes.

Residents are urged to stay updated on weather forecasts and to take immediate action if necessary. The proactive utilization of available resources can make a significant difference in mitigating potential damage caused by flooding.
