El Nino Super Soaker: Where to Find Sandbags in Alameda County
As promised, El Nino is delivering torrents of rain. Protect your home and property with free sandbags here in Dublin.
The storms that we all hope break the drought, or at least put a dent in it, have finally arrived. Unfortunately, flooding and mudslides are also expected.
There are more than two dozen sites where you can pick up free sandbags in Alameda County. Some are pre-filled, but piles of sand and empty bags are also provided in case the pre-filled bags run out. If you have one available, take a shovel - just in case.
Since most of us live in one city while working in another, all sandbag sites are listed for your convenience. Some sites require proof of residency so take a photo ID.
