Sandbags provide the mass to <br />counter the force of the flood waters. <br /> <br />-Polyethylene -- Commonly called "Poly". Poly <br />provides the water barrier for sandbag levies. <br />Always use the heaviest polyethylene sheeting <br />that is available. <br /> <br />-Lumber and Planking -- Lumber may be <br />needed for field construction projects and <br />planking is valuable to make paths over muddy <br />ground. <br /> <br />'Shovels, Wheelbarrows, etc. --These items are <br />the mainstay of any flood fight. <br /> <br />'People -- These are a basic necessity for any <br />flood fight. People who are joining the flood <br />fight should be ready for hard work and be <br />physically fit enough for the task ahead. <br /> <br />Instructor Note: Remind the participants that <br />there are many jobs in a flood fight. Even if the <br />participant is unable to handle heavy sandbags, <br />there are still plenty of less demanding jobs. <br /> <br />'Other basic supplies include drinking water, <br />sanitation supplies, and a first aid kit. <br /> <br />3 <br />
