Sandbag Stations Available During Flood Events
The Parks & Public Works Department stocks sandbag supplies every year in the event a flood should occur. These resources become available for Central Point residents when weather and stream conditions warrant activation of our emergency response procedures. The sandbags (limit of 25) and sand are free of charge for residents as long as supplies last. Please be prepared to show your ID to provide proof of residency within the city limits. During office hours, call 541-664-3321. After 4:30 pm, call 541-326-3682.
Sandbag Station Locations
When this occurs, residents can fill sandbags at the Public Works Corporate Yard located on South 5th between Cedar and Ash Street. If flood conditions worsen, additional sites will be opened and the locations of these areas will be advertised to the media and on the City of Central Point website.
How to Fill Sandbags
When filling sandbags, you should work in pairs with one person holding the bag while the other shovels in the fill material. The first shovel of fill will be placed on the lip of the bag to help hold the bag open. The person shoveling should use rounded scoops of fill until the bag is approximately one-third to one-half full. A completely full bag of wet sand or soil will be too heavy to work with. While shoveling, avoid extra movements (turning or twisting of the back) as this will tire you out sooner. The bag holder should bend at the waist until the elbows are resting on the knees while he is holding the bag open.
