VERONA, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – With a few roads already closed due to flooding, Augusta County is making sand and sandbags available to county residents and businesses ahead of the excessive rainfall and potential flooding as a result of the effects from Hurricane Helene. A county release says the sand and bags are available in two locations:

Augusta County Government Center – 18 Government Center Lane, Verona (south end of building, past the new Parks and Recreation offices)

Wilson Volunteer Fire Company – 892 Mt Torrey Rd, Lyndhurst

Residents must bring their own shovel and are encouraged to only take what is needed so that all residents may have access to the available supplies. Residents may fill bags at any time (access to the sand is 24/7). Click here for all the information.
