Sandbags for Municipalities & Emergency Management in Moncton

How municipalities teams in Moncton use sandbags

When a flood watch turns into a warning, municipalities and emergency management teams need bags staged before residents start asking for them. Sandbag.ca supplies empty bags by the bale for municipal sand-pile filling stations, filled bags and bulk totes for critical infrastructure, and coloured bags for marking hazards. Tell us your depot locations and quantities, and we quote supply for the season ahead.

Moncton had a population of 79,470 in the 2021 Census. In New Brunswick, the spring freshet on the Saint John River system and rain-on-snow events are the peak periods for flood sandbag orders.
