Emergency flood-proofing measures – using sandbags

Sandbag Levees/Dykes
- Sandbags stacked to form a barrier against rising flood waters.
- The bag must be strong enough to hold sand or earth and withstand contact with water indefinitely.
A trench should be dug because the water will exerts pressure against the sandbags.
- The bags should not be totally filled to allow overlap which “locks” bags together.
