Despite the recent heat wave, the National Weather Service is forecasting heavy rains, winds and thunderstorms over the weekend.
San Diego County will be providing sandbags at various locations for those who want to prevent property damage, according to a county statement.
Sandbags are useful for directing water away from property and reducing erosion, which can clog storm drains and damage roadways, according to a county statement.
The sandbags will be provided by the San Diego County’s Department of Public Works, Cal Fire and San Diego County Fire Authority at no cost, according to the County News Center.
Some locations may require people to bring their own shovels to fill the bags, offer just the bags, or offer both, so those interested are encouraged to call and check with the location.
