Texas HB55 establishes a statewide natural disaster alert system and flood safety requirements for youth camps.
Texas HB55 creates a statewide natural disaster alert system to notify residents of imminent natural disasters within a 100-mile radius. The system uses geographic targeting technology and cannot be opted out of. Local government entities can choose to implement the alert system and may use local funds for participation. The bill also mandates outdoor warning sirens in flood-risk zones, requiring them to be equipped with water-level sensors and solar-powered backup energy sources.
