Sand Bag Policy  |  Póliza de Sacos de Arena | 
  
  

When a "Flash Flood Watch" is issued by National Weather Service and confirmed by City of Santa Barbara Public Works Officials, the City will open the Sandbag Station. 

The City’s Sandbag Station is located at the City of Santa Barbara Corporate Annex Yard at 401 East Yanonali Street.  Sand and sandbags will be available to the public at the Sandbag Station.  Residents should bring their own gloves and be prepared to fill the bags they need.  Note when filling sandbags, fill them only half way, so they are not too heavy to lift and will stack properly.  Twenty sandbags are allowed per trip. 

The City will announce when the Sandbag Station is open and hours of operation and on Channel 18 (City-TV) and through other local media outlets.  Before and during storm events through the winter residents should monitor the radio and TV and the City’s web site for updates and announcements.
