Beginning at 10:00 am this morning, residents can go to any <br />of these locations to fill their own sandbags. Please note that shovels and sandbags will <br />NOT be provided so you must bring your own materials. If you are not able to purchase <br />sandbags at a local retailer, heavy duty trash bags will also work. <br />Forecasted rainfall totals have been reduced for Hawaii Island so please only take what <br />you need. If you reuse County sandbags, be sure they have been stored in a cool, dry <br />place out of direct sunlight. <br />Sand will be provided at the following locations: <br /> Shultz Siding 630 E Lanikaula St., Hilo <br /> Mamalahoa Hwy and Jardin Rd. <br /> Honokaa Base Yard 45-3386 Mamane St. <br /> Cherry Trees (near Ke Ola Mau Loa Church) 65-1096 Mamalahoa Hwy <br /> N Kohala Base Yard 55-486 Hoea Rd. <br /> Waikoloa Community Park 68-1845 Puu Nui St. <br /> Ane Keohokalole Hwy south of Kealakehe Pkwy (Kailua side of Kealakehe HS) <br /> Captain Cook Base Yard 79-7320 Kuakini Hwy <br /> Yano Hall in Captain Cook 82-6156 Mamalahoa Hwy <br /> Waiohino Base Yard 95-1627 Kamaoa Rd. <br /> Pahala Park and Community Center 96-1149 Kamani St. <br /> Puna Base Yard 17-384 Volcano Rd. <br /> Puna Airfield Strip 15-2501 Keaau Pahoa Rd. <br />*Sand piles located in Base Yards will only be available during business hours. <br />Civil Defense is monitoring the storm and will keep you informed of any changes that <br />may affect your safety. <br />Thank you and have a safe day.
