A Compelling Argument for Sandbagging Machines

For the second time in the last three springs, the messaging was loud and clear. Communities along the overflowing St-Lawrence were in need of volunteers to help with a variety of flood protection measures. One could not miss the images of homes, surrounded by deep water, streets literally turned into flowing rivers, and everyday people, desperately trying to protect their most valuable possessions. If they were lucky enough to still have power, they were running multiple pumps, 24 hours a day, bright hoses climbing out of their basement windows and doors. More common, though, exhausted home owners with no power were desperately tossing buckets of water into the surrounding areas, which would inevitably make its way back into the basements, a futile make-work project if ever there was one. And hard to miss were the teams of people pushing shovels into piles of sand and filling bag after bag, tying them up and hauling them off to form one tiny part of a make-shift wall around one of the hundreds of homes at risk, this scene repeated in community after community.

While I had thought, from the comfort of my couch in my dry home, “I probably should go volunteer,” the thought of hauling around heavy bags with a back that had a history of going out on me under much less duress remained my excuse to stay put. Then when my wife suggested I go help, even if only for a couple of hours, I decided to give it a go and see if maybe I could be helpful after all.

A nearby community, asking for volunteers all over social media, was Pierrefonds, Québec, a suburb on the western end of the island of Montreal. I showed up at the promoted meeting place and public works staff sent those of us with shovels to one of 7 strategic “bagging” destinations. We were told we’d find a pile of sand, pile of bags, and tie wraps, and to join in making bags. Seemed simple enough. I grabbed another volunteer, hopped into my Jeep and drove to our destination, across from the riverfront and down a street lying in lowlands that were completely inundated. I noted 2 piles of sand, one sitting idle and the other had a couple of guys hunched over filling bags so we joined them, basically doing what they were doing.

What I witnessed over the next several hours was heartwarming communal camaraderie, with all its good intentions, impacted by the challenges faced by city workers trying their best to combat the forces of nature with limited resources.
