"We've had sandbags available for the past several weeks just in anticipation of these winter storms, but this is the first time this year, or this storm season, that we've had the CERT teams filling up sand bags for the community. In the past, we've made the bags available for people to self-fill themselves," said Nick Nicholas, Captain at the Seal Beach police department.
For some residents, last week's storm caused damage.
The say they're preparing for more rain ahead of time this week.
