Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety and the Maple Valley Community Emergency Response Team or CERT has partnered with King County/Land Resources Division to have sandbags available if flooding was to occur in the Maple Valley area.

Sandbags will only be available at this location in advance of a forecasted flood for the Cedar River. The CERT Members will be managing the site once opened. There will be a limit of 50 sandbags per household.

Visit the fire department Web site for up-dates and information regarding the hours and days the site will be open if the need arises.
