Members of the public interested in learning how to battle floods with sandbags will have two chances to take classes in Vancouver.

Classes will be held from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Tuesday at the Clark County Public Works facility, 4700 N.E. 78th St.

Les Miller, of the Army Corps of Engineers, will provide hands-on instruction on how to fill, haul and place sandbags.

A portion of the class will be held outside. Anyone attending should dress appropriately for the weather, along with bringing gloves and good shoes. It is helpful if participants bring a shovel, according to the CRESA blog.

There is no need to pre-register for the class.
