Beaufort County will operate two Sandbag Filling Stations available to residents ahead of the onset of Tropical Storm Debby. Upon arrival to the station, residents can see a Public Works employee to obtain free sandbags. Due to limited supply, sandbags are limited to 10 bags per resident.

Sandbag Filling Stations are located at:

9 Benton Field Road, Bluffton, SC

80 Shanklin Road, Beaufort SC 

Hours of Operation:

Sunday August 4, 2024

1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., or while supplies last

Bags and sand supplies are free, but limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis, until we run out. Contractors will not be allowed to utilize this service.

Beaufort County residents are encouraged to prepare now and stay informed for potential storm impacts. Check your preparedness plan, download your hurricane guide, and don't forget your pets.

With a large amount of rainfall expected, remember Turn Around, Don't Drown. Depths of water can be very deceiving - don't navigate "puddles" that can turn out to me much deeper, with much faster water. Residents should stay tuned to the National Hurricane Center, National Weather Service, and Beaufort County Sheriff's Office for the latest weather and emergency updates.

Storm Graphic is as of Sunday, August 04, 2024. Forecasts are subject to change. Stay tuned to official channels for the latest alerts.
