In a practical response to the needs of the community, the City of Boynton Beach is distributing sandbags to residents to aid in flood prevention as severe weather looms. The sandbags are available today at Harvey E. Oyer Jr. Park, located at 2010 N. Federal Hwy., Boynton Beach, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., according to the City of Boynton Beach's official website.
City officials urge residents to arrive early for a first-come, first-served distribution of supplies while they last. Each resident with a valid ID can receive up to three bags. A do-it-yourself area is also available, allowing residents to fill their own bags using tools provided by the city.
For those seeking additional information or for residents who have more specific inquiries about the sandbag distribution, the city has made a provision. They can call the city's helpline at (561) 742-6200, option 2.
