With torrential rains predicted to accompany Hurricane Lenny, Public Works Commissioner Harold G. Thompson Jr. said sandbags will be available to all residents who need them.
On St. Thomas they can be obtained at the DPW motor pool in Sub Base and the Lima Fire Station in Estate Tutu.
Thompson reminded people who received sandbags last month to be considerate of people who still needed them.
A limit of four sandbags per household was imposed, according to a release from Public Works.
