In preparation for rain and storms, free sandbags for residents in the city and county of San Diego will be available.

According to the city, those presenting proof of residency can get up to 10 empty sandbags from centrally located recreation centers. Residents offering identification showing their home street address can pick-up bags between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., Monday-Friday, and from 12 p.m. until 2 p.m., Saturday and Sunday.
