Mill Valley Sandbag Volunteers To Help Neighbors Prepare For Storms

Mill Valley’s Neighborhood Response Groups are organizing Sandbag Saturday on Saturday, Nov. 14, to help neighbors prepare for storms. Volunteers will deliver and place sandbags for residents in low-lying, flood-prone areas who cannot do the heavy lifting themselves.

The effort is intended for seniors, people with limited mobility and anyone else who needs help setting up sandbag defenses. Residents seeking assistance should email NRG@cityofmillvalley.gov with their name, address and preferred contact information.

Anyone requesting help for a neighbor should let that person know first. The email should include the neighbor’s address and contact information along with the sender’s own details. If requests exceed the group’s capacity, residents may be directed to other resources.

Volunteers can sign up for Saturday, Nov. 14, and future efforts by emailing NRG@cityofmillvalley.gov with when and where they are available. No experience is needed to help deliver and set up sandbags. Additional Sandbag Saturdays are planned throughout the storm season to reach more neighborhoods.
