PHOENIX (AZFamily) — With rain in the forecast Thursday and Friday while flooding still lingers from Wednesday’s storm, the City of Phoenix is helping residents get prepared.
The City has locations across Phoenix that have sand for residents to fill bags. Sandbags could be helpful in damming or diverting floodwater from monsoon storms.
These locations have sand free of charge, but residents will need to bring their own bags to fill and their own shovels to move the sand.
- District 1 – Paseo Highlands Park – 3435 W. Pinnacle Peak Rd.
- District 2 – Paradise Valley Park – 17642 N. 40th St.
- District 3 – Moon Valley Park – 502 W. Coral Gables Dr.
- District 4 – Encanto Park Sports Complex – 2121 N. 15th Ave.
- District 5 – El Oso Park – 3451 N. 75th Ave.
- District 6 – Pecos Park – 17010 S. 48th St.
- District 7 – Cesar Chavez Park – 7858 S. 35th Ave.
- District 8 – Esteban Park – 3345 E. Roeser Rd.
Sand is available on a first-come, first-served basis, according to the City of Phoenix. The City’s Public Works Department can also provide other services to help clear debris after a storm.
Because of the abundant moisture from the weakening of tropical system Lorena, a Flood Watch has been issued for the Valley from noon to midnight Thursday. Storms could bring pockets of rainfall of one to two inches, leading to localized flooding. For far Southern Arizona, the Watch continues into Friday.
