Impact analysis
Flood damage can hit homeowners and businesses with repair bills and lost work, so free sandbags are a cheap way to reduce that risk.
Homeowners, renters, and business owners in low-lying areas get the most help, since sandbags can protect property before the rain arrives.
People who can’t easily pick up or place sandbags—like some older residents or those without transportation—may be left more exposed.
