Sandbag Giveaway for Flood-Prone Areas in Coos Bay
The City of Coos Bay is
preparing for the potential impacts and possible flooding as a result of the
combined predicted high tides and forecasted heavy rainfalls next week by
offering free sand bags to residents.
While the City has a number
of sandbags currently in stock, many more may be needed. The City is
asking for volunteers to help fill approximately 500 sandbags. The sandbags
will be filled at the City Shops located at 1295 S Broadway (across from the
disposal site) on Monday, December 21st beginning at 8:30 am.
Parking will be on the southeast end of the yard near the City equipment.
Bring your rain gear, boots, and gloves. We hope to be working under a
roof.

volunteering to fill sandbags, please contact Pam Patton at 541-269-8918 in the

Sandbags will be available
