The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Management has distributed five thousand sandbags today and an additional twelve-thousand are now being distributed to local units of government to further assist residents. Residents are urged to call in the local township in advance to be certain there are bags available. Check with individual townships for “after hours” dissemination. Sand is available through several suppliers including Ralph Meyers Trucking, De Went Gravel, Mulch Pro, and S & M Gravel. It is important to only fill sandbags just more than half full. This way the sand can settle to fill voids in the wall once it is built. Along with placing sandbags where water is expected to rise quickly, residents are advised to take precautionary measures such as raising items off of the ground level. There is no charge for the sand bags, however they must be used for flood prevention purposes.
