As the region’s thunderstorm season comes to an end, the Tucson Department of Transportation and Mobility’s (DTM) Operation Splash initiative and sandbag distribution operations has concluded. The self-serve sandbag distribution site, located at Hi Corbett Field, has been open since June 2022 to offer free sandbags to residents concerned with flooding during the summer’s monsoons.

This was the seventh consecutive year DTM offered sandbags as part of the Operation Splash Program. An estimated 28,800 sandbags were distributed during this year’s thunderstorm season. Since 2016, DTM has distributed approximately 166,300 sandbags, self-serve and prefilled combined.
