Sierra County Identifies Loyalton Road Shop as a Potential Self-Service Sandbag Site

LOYALTON — November 2, 2026. Sierra County’s emergency preparedness page lists the road shop at 1 Garbage Pit Road in Loyalton as a predetermined location for self-service sand and sandbags when flooding threatens.

Not a permanently stocked supply

The county expressly cautions that materials will not always be accessible or available. Sandbags are staged when forecasts and conditions warrant; residents should not interpret the site listing as proof of an active flood or a guaranteed supply today.

Where to look for updates

County Public Works lists weekday access generally 7 a.m.–4 p.m. Monday through Thursday, except holidays, for the road shop. The county encourages residents to subscribe to news alerts about actual staging.

Safety before a storm

Filling and moving sandbags can be strenuous. Households should check local drainage, keep emergency supplies ready and avoid driving onto flooded roads. Public Works contact: 530-289-3201.
