SITUATION
On a regular basis, Dumfries & Galloway Council reviews its supply of flood protection products to be used in an event of a flood within the local area.
IMPLEMENTATION
From December 2016, Dumfries & Galloway Council decided to procure HydroSack®s & HydroSnake®s as a sandbag alternative product, in anticipation of potential bad weather.
RESULTS
Up to 1,000 HydroSack®s & HydroSnake®s were procured by the council and distributed throughout the Dumfries & Galloway area for swift deployment in the event of a flood.
