Reno
In an online post, as seen below, the City of Reno is making preparations to get ahead of the upcoming storms.

Although the sand is free, residents must bring a shovel and are responsible for filling their bags; the city asks that residents only take what they need.

In an online post, the Susanville Fire Department says that with forecasted storms, the Susan River could peak to just below the moderate flood range due to its reactivity to the predicted amount of rainfall.
In preparation, the Susanville Fire Department, located at 1505 Main Street, has sand and sandbags available for city residents who might be affected by these storms. They say there is a limit of 15 bags per household, and residents must bring their shovels to fill the bags.
If you are concerned or live in an area that's prone to flooding, it's important to load up on sandbags to prevent possible water damage on your property.
