LA Flood Watch: Where To Find Sandbags In Venice

VENICE, CA — As the latest atmospheric river moves in on Southern California, officials warned Venice residents about the likely event of heavy flooding.

City officials said those living in low-lying areas should prepare accordingly due to the area being prone to flooding. Venice residents were encouraged to prepare sandbags.

"A powerful storm will bring widespread moderate to heavy rain to the region through early Wednesday, possibly resulting in flooding and gusty winds at times," the National Weather Service said.

Sandbags are available to Venice residents at the following locations:

• Fire Station 110 (4433 Admiralty Way)
• Rose Avenue Lot (300 Ocean Front Walk)
• Venice Avenue Lot (2300 Ocean Front Walk)
• Washington St. Lot (3100 Ocean Walk)

Residents are required to bring their IDs and can pick up a maximum of 10 bags. Those collecting sand were also urged to bring their own shovel or tools. Collecting sand from the beach is illegal.

Assistance is available at the Lifeguard Station for residents who need help filling their sandbags.
