From the City of Healdsburg:

Sand bags will be available for pick up by Healdsburg city residents at 3 North Street (Cerri Building). In a severe storm emergency sand bag distribution will be staged at additional locations within the Healdsburg City Limits.

Once the storm event has passed there will be an area at 3 North Street designated for drop off of no longer needed sandbags. Please have a plan in place for removal of sandbags once the storm event has passed.

Residents are cautioned not to remove inlet grates and manhole lids. This poses a critical safety hazard and does not solve drainage issues.
