LA Flood Watch: Where To Find Sandbags In Manhattan Beach

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — As the latest atmospheric river moves in on Southern California, officials warned Manhattan Beach residents about the likely event of heavy flooding.

City officials said those living in low-lying areas should prepare accordingly due to the area being prone to flooding. Manhattan Beach residents were encouraged to prepare sandbags.

"A powerful storm will bring widespread moderate to heavy rain to the region through early Wednesday, possibly resulting in flooding and gusty winds at times," the National Weather Service said.

Sandbags are available to Manhattan Beach residents at the following locations:

• Public Works Yard (3621 Bell Ave.)
  • Check into Administration Office prior to retrieval
  • Fire Station 1 (400 15th St.)
  • Fie Station 2 (1400 Manhattan Beach Blvd.)

Residents are required to bring their IDs and can pick up a maximum of 10 bags. Those collecting sand were also urged to bring their own shovel or tools. Collecting sand from the beach is illegal.

Assistance is available at the Lifeguard Station for residents who need help filling their sandbags.
