Five free sandbags are available to each Alameda household as we prepare for upcoming rains and the storm season. Sandbags can be retrieved anytime from the City's self-serve sandbag station in the courtyard behind City Hall West, 950 W Mall Square, at Alameda Point.

In addition, this Saturday, December 3, from 8am-12noon, the City is hosting a sandbag station event near City Hall West at Lexington Street and W Tower Avenue. 

Working together will help lessen the impacts of storms this season. Tips on storm preparedness can be found at www.alamedaca.gov/storms If you have any questions about sandbags, please call 510-747-7900 between 8:00am and 6:00pm.
