Kern County residents are bracing for a strong storm moving into the area.

Kern County Public Works has delivered sand to nine sites across the county to help people prepare.

Each site has a pile of sand ready for use, and residents must bring their own sandbags and shovels.

Empty bags can be bought at any hardware store.
