With heavy rain in the forecast for this weekend, the City of Yuma is providing a self-serve sandbag filling station for residents in the parking lot of the Yuma Civic Center, 1440 W. Desert Hills Drive.

The sandbag station will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21.

The station will contain sand and empty bags while supplies last. On-site shovels are limited, so residents are encouraged to bring their own.

Sandbags are limited to five per vehicle to ensure resources are available to protect as many households as possible.

“The city urges residents to use caution when traveling during inclement weather and to take this opportunity to revisit or update your household disaster plan,” reads a Thursday press release form the city.
