Texas HB194 mandates flood safety signage in flood-prone municipalities and counties.

Texas HB194 requires municipalities and counties in flood-prone areas to install flood safety signs in public locations within the 100-year floodplain and outside it to guide individuals to safety. The bill defines a "100-year floodplain" as an area with a one percent or greater chance of inundation by a flood in any given year, as designated by FEMA or USDA. This requirement applies only to municipalities or counties where a disaster involving storms or flooding has been declared at least once in the preceding 10 years.
