Free Sandbag Locations For Louisiana Residents By-The-Parish

Sandbag locations are open for residents preparing for possible flooding related to Hurricane Nicholas across the state. The storm was downgraded back to a Tropical storm shortly after making landfall overnight on the eastern part of the Texas Matagorda Peninsula. Nicholas hit the Texas shoreline as a Cat 1 packing winds around 75 mies per hour. Below are more details of its projected path as it heads to the Louisiana border.

Parish by parish, city, state and local officials are providing sand/bags at a variety of sites for residents at risk of flooding to stock up.
The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury also has several sandbag locations throughout SWLA for citizens living in low line areas. See
