Sandbags

If you are concerned that your property could be at risk from flooding and may require sand bags, you should contact your local town or parish council. Your town or parish council can then put in a request each year for as many sand bags as it believes it requires for use in event of flooding.

East Devon District Council no longer provide sand bags directly to householders. During extreme weather, it is more practical and effective for sand bags to be distributed from lots of localised reserves run by the town or parish councils rather than try and distribute them from one or two locations over roads that may be flooded or blocked by fallen trees or debris.
