Both wind-drifted and new snow avalanches will likely fail 1-2’ deep, but have the potential to fail deeper at the new/old snow interface that is now down 2-5’ in places. For that reason, cautious route-finding, and conservative decision-making will be essential today.
Where do I find Sandbags?
Find a list of sandbagging filling locations on our website, https://slcoem.org/sandbag-locations/
Remember, bring a shovel and gloves and fill the sandbags a little over ½ full to leave space to tie the bag shut.
If the debris is in a river, creek, stream, or canal, contact SLCO Flood Control at 385-468-6600 or report the issue online https://slco.vueworks.com/CitizenRequestPortal/…, If debris is within local roadways or intersections, contact your local city public works for those local drainage problems.
