Live near the St. Johns River? Where to find sandbags in Lake, Seminole and Volusia counties

A flood warning remains for people living along the St. Johns River, particularly in Lake, Seminole, and Volusia counties, as water from the historic flood in Brevard County continues to drain.
The St. Johns River is one of those rare waterways that flow north, so water heading downstream from Brevard County is going flowing into our northern counties and raising the river.
