The self-serve station is to be available 24/7 ahead of the first forecasted storm. Sand and bags are provided, but you need to bring your own shovel.

Oro Valley
Town residents can pick up sandbags through the duration of the 2022 monsoon (or while supplies last) at Naranja Park, 810 W. Naranja Drive.
Due to limited supplies, there is a limit of 10 sandbags per vehicle.
