The City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) and Tlingit & Haida are partnering to host two sandbag distribution events later this month at the Dimond Park Field House. Events will be held on:


  • Saturday, July 19 – 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

  • Saturday, July 26 – 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.


These events aim to help residents prepare for potential flooding along the Mendenhall River.


What to Expect

  • Sand, empty bags, and shovels will be provided for public use.

  • Pre-filled sandbags will not be available.

  • Space will be available for residents to fill their own bags on site.

  • Volunteers may be on hand to assist.


Important Guidelines

  • Households located within the predicted 18-foot flood inundation area may collect up to 75 sandbags, including those that participated in a previous sandbag distribution event(s).

  • Supplies are limited. Please take only what you need to help ensure availability for others in need.
