The DC Department of Public Works announced today that District residents may pick up sandbags (up to five per household) at its New Jersey Avenue and K Street, SE site (entrance on New Jersey at I Street, SE). Sandbag distribution will begin at 1 pm and continue as deemed necessary. Each sandbag weighs between 40 lbs. and 50 lbs. and residents will need to load them into their vehicles, although some assistance may be available. Weather forecasters predict up to three inches of the rain, with the heaviest concentration occurring tomorrow morning between 3 am and 6 am.
DPW will have employees and signage directing residents to the site entrance.
