## Resource

Governor Abbott credits flood warning systems and sirens for saving lives during recent Hill Country floods, noting local officials praised their effectiveness in alerting residents before waters rose. While acknowledging these tools worked, he stresses more must be done to strengthen Texas’s flood preparedness—making expanded sirens and emergency systems a top legislative priority for the next session. The devastating floods last year underscored the urgent need for robust, proactive warning infrastructure, especially in flash flood-prone areas. The governor’s message is clear: learn from past disasters and invest now to ensure communities are better protected against future flooding.
