List: Where to find sandbags in Northern California

CALIFORNIA, USA —

Flooding concerns are on the minds of people in the Northern California Sierra and foothills as another storm prepares to move in.

However, unlike the last round which brought snow, looming atmospheric river storms are bringing warmer air and more rain. It's stirred concern over snowmelt and the potential for flooding.

Some areas, like those in Amador County, are already getting prepared after weathering the New Year's Eve storms. 

For anyone looking to make preparations ahead of the rain, here's a list of places you can find sandbag materials.
