Flood

Keep sandbags or flood barriers ready before the season, not after water's rising

Flooding engulfing homes

#Nature 🌱 Spring

Sandbags, reusable water-activated barriers, or even a stack of empty bags and a source of sand or soil nearby — whichever you pick, the value is entirely in having it before the water's already at your door. Local hardware stores and municipal sandbag stations run out within hours of a flood watch being issued; keep enough on hand for your doorways and low points before the season starts, not once the forecast turns bad.
