How to make improvised sand bags for flooding and at risk areas using sleeves, socks, trouser legs, pillow cases and plastic bin bags or rubble sacks filled with a mix of sand and mud or plain sand or gravel from your drive way - for use in emergencies.
HOW TO USE SAND BAGS
Sandbags and how to use them properly for flood protection
Filling the bags
•
This is a two-person job: one to hold the bag open
and one to fill.
•
Do not fill bags more than half full.
•
You don’t need to tie the end of the bag.
Placing the bags
•
Clear any debris from the area where the bags are
to be placed.
•
If you can, put a large sheet of heavy-duty plastic
between the sandbags and the wall of your house.
•
Place the bags lengthways, tucking the open end
under the filled half of the bag and position it
pointing into the direction of water flow.
•
Place bags in layers. Like a brick wall, make sure
that in the next layer each bag overlaps the one
below by half.
•
Stamp bags firmly into place to eliminate gaps and
create a tight seal.
•
To lay sandbags in a doorway, it may be
necessary to empty some of the contents out or
shape the sandbags to achieve a good fit without
overlapping.
