Sand before the storm

Big rain is coming — grab some sand. With the first significant rainfall of the season expected this weekend, the city of Sonoma strongly encourages preparing for flooding with sandbags.

Free sandbags are now available to City residents at City Hall during normal business hours, limit 10 bags per resident while supplies last. Additional bags are available for purchase at  Friedman’s Home Improvement Center (1360 Broadway).

Free sand is also available to City residents in the parking lot at Depot Park (270 1st ST W). The sandbag filling station at Depot Park is self-serve; please bring your own shovel.  Read our Sandbag Instructions to learn how to properly fill, stack, and construct sandbags.
