With the potential for more El Ni\u00f1o rains in the months ahead, the City of San Diego is making it easier for City residents to receive free sandbags. The City is moving sandbag distribution from fire stations to selected recreation centers in each City Council District. The new plan will ensure that the sandbags are readily available in advance of potential storms.

\n“The City\u2019s Fire-Rescue Department handled sandbag distribution and gave out more than 70,000 bags over a three month period between November and January,” said Fire-Rescue spokesperson Captain Joe Amador. “While we were proud to serve our neighbors, we couldn\u2019t always be on site to hand out bags when crews were out on calls,” he said. “The new distribution plan will ensure that the sandbags are available on a regular schedule and in convenient locations,” said Amador.
\n\u00a0
\nStarting immediately, those presenting proof of residency can get up to 10 empty sandbags from centrally located recreation centers. Residents offering identification showing their home street address can pick-up bags between 1 pm and 7 pm Monday through Friday and from noon until 2 pm Saturday and Sunday.
