How to prepare for a flood in Bellingham WA

Whatcom County recently published this video about flood control along the Nooksack River. The key to surviving a flood to be prepared ahead of time.

To summarize, it is important to have sand and sand bags purchased and ready at the beginning of the flood season. Once you have the bags and sand, you need to make the actually sand bags. Make sure to only fill the bags half full, so they are not too heavy to carry and stack. Don’t worry about tying the bags, just fold the top of the bag over. Once the bags have been laid out, walk over the bags to make sure there are no air gaps.
