San Francisco Public Works is once again providing The City's residents and businesses with up to 10 free sandbags ahead of this weekend's storms.Â
The sandbags are intended for homes and businesses prone to flooding during heavy rainstorms. They can be picked up Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the department's operations yard, which is located at Marin and Kansas streets.Â
Those hoping to load up on a few sandbags will need to bring a proof of address. Public Works also notes that visitors will need to load the bags into their vehicles on their own.Â
Should you not have time to visit the operations yard, Public Works reminds residents that many local hardware and home improvement stores also sell sandbags.Â
