REMINDER: Sandbag Training for Neighborhood Councils
Dear Neighbors,
I am sure you have seen the media coverage regarding the increased risk of flooding for the Green River valley area this rainy season. The City is doing everything it can to prevent flooding along the levees, but we need your help in protecting private property.
As a neighborhood located in the valley, or at least a portion of it that is potentially affected, I would like to invite you to a special sandbag training on Thursday, October 22nd at 6:30pm.
The training will begin inside the Kent Senior Activity Center, located at 600 E. Smith St, with a short discussion about terminology that you may hear on the news, as well as a handouts for you to take home.
Then we will walk across the street to Earthworks Park to discuss proper ways to fill sandbags, how to build protective sandbag structures, and how to work safely. You will have the chance to practice those techniques, so dress accordingly.
Please note that this training is specifically for residents of the Lakes, Riverview, North Park, South Kent, Mill Creek and Scenic Hill Neighborhood Councils.
In order to ensure we have enough materials at the training, I’m requesting that people RSVP by email at hthomas@ci.kent.wa.us or phone at (253) 856-5559. Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.
