Tips on how to properly fill and stack your sandbags
• Fill bags one-half to two-thirds of the way full
• Over-filled bags will result in a leaky sandbag wall
• Stack sandbags so that the seams between the bags are staggered
• Tuck the top of each bag under to ensure that that bag is sealed by its own weight
This self-serve sandbag site will remain open until weather conditions begin to deteriorate.
Hernando County Government’s Office of Emergency Management continues to monitor and inform our community about storm impacts. Visit the following web and social media sites for more information.
