[ARCHIVED] SANDBAGGING STATIONS | ESTACIONES DE EMBOLSAMIENTO

Locations of Yachats, Newport, and Lincoln City sandbag stations and includes pictures

Traducción al español a continuación.

Lincoln County residents have access to three self-serve, public sandbagging stations located in Yachats, Newport, and Lincoln City.


Sandbagging is one simple, effective way to prevent or reduce flood water damage. Although sandbags do not guarantee a watertight seal, they can help prevent costly water damage.


Sandbags have been used to:

  • Redirect storm water runoff to storm drains
  • Redirect overflowing storm runoff drains from personal property
  • Reduce leakage at closure structures
  • Prevent overtopping of levees
  • Direct a river's current flow to specific areas

Lincoln County Self-Serve Public Sandbagging Stations:

Yachats Rural Fire Protection District

Public Works / Animal Shelter Parking Lot

North Lincoln Fire and Rescue
St. Clair Station

2056 Highway 101 N

510 NE Harney St.

4520 SE Hwy 101

Yachats, Oregon

Newport, Oregon

Lincoln City, Oregon


Hours:  Mid-October through mid-April

You can access sand any time of day or night.


If you plan on using the self-serve sandbagging station, remember to bring a shovel. Community members may gather up to 10 sandbags per household, per season. Those in need of more than 10 sandbags at a time are encouraged to reach out to local hardware stores and purchase them in advance. Protection of private property is the property owners’ responsibility and begins prior to storm events.


If you have a water run off hazard or a structure in flood plain, you should:

  • Assess your property in advance. Waiting until the water is at your doorstep is too late; there won’t be enough time or resources to effectively mitigate the water or debris run off. 
  • Consider flood insurance. Visit the National Flood Insurance Program or DFR – Flood Insurance.
  • Educate yourself regarding sandbag quantities, flood fighting and sandbag placement techniques, and the help you might need to accomplish the task.
  • If you know your property often floods, please evacuate when flood warnings are issued. Lincoln County Emergency Management cannot help you with food or evacuations once flood has surrounded or entered your home.

Additional information about sandbagging and floods can be found on the Emergency Management Hazards – Flooding & River Levels page.

ESTACIONES DE EMBOLSAMIENTO DE ARENA EN EL CONDADO DE LINCOLN


Los residentes del condado de Lincoln tienen acceso a tres estaciones públicas de autoservicio de bolsas de arena ubicadas en Yachats, Newport y Lincoln City.


Los sacos de arena son una forma sencilla y eficaz de prevenir o reducir los daños causados por las inundaciones. Aunque los sacos de arena no garantizan un cierre hermético, pueden ayudar a prevenir costosos daños causados por el agua.


Los sacos de arena se han utilizado para:

  • Redirigir la escorrentía de aguas pluviales a los desagües pluviales.
  • Redirigir los desagües de aguas pluviales desbordados de la propiedad privada.
  • Reducir las fugas en las estructuras de cierre.
  • Evitar el desbordamiento de diques.
  • Dirigir el caudal de un río a zonas específicas.

Estaciones públicas de autoabastecimiento de sacos de arena del condado de Lincoln.

Horario:  De mediados de octubre a mediados de abril.
Puede acceder a la arena a cualquier hora del día o de la noche.


Distrito Rural de Protección contra Incendios de Yachats

Obras Públicas / Estacionamiento del Refugio de Animales

Bomberos y Rescate de North Lincoln, Estación St. Clair

2056 Highway 101 N

510 NE Harney St.

4520 SE Hwy 101

Yachats, Oregon

Newport, Oregon

Lincoln City, Oregon


Si piensa utilizar la estación de autoservicio de sacos de arena, recuerde traer una pala. Los miembros de la comunidad pueden recoger hasta 10 sacos de arena por hogar y temporada. Aquellos que necesiten más de 10 sacos de arena a la vez pueden dirigirse a las ferreterías locales y comprarlos con antelación. La protección de la propiedad privada es responsabilidad de los propietarios y comienza antes de las tormentas.


Si tiene un riesgo de escorrentía de agua o una estructura en una llanura inundable, debe hacerlo:

  • Evalúe su propiedad con anticipación. Esperar hasta que el agua llegue a su puerta es demasiado tarde; no habrá tiempo ni recursos suficientes para mitigar eficazmente el agua o los escombros. Considere contratar un seguro contra inundaciones. Visite el Programa Nacional de Seguros contra InundacionesDFR – Seguros contra Inundaciones.
  • Infórmese sobre las cantidades de sacos de arena, las técnicas de lucha contra las inundaciones, y la colocación de sacos de arena, y la ayuda que podría necesitar para llevar a cabo la tarea.
  • Si sabe que su propiedad se inunda con frecuencia, evacúe cuando se emitan alertas de inundación. La Oficina de Gestión de Emergencias del Condado de Lincoln no puede ayudarle con alimentos o evacuaciones una vez que la inundación haya rodeado o entrado en su casa.

Encontrará más información sobre los sacos de arena y las inundaciones en la página Riesgos de gestión de emergencias: inundaciones y niveles fluviales.
