Texas Flood Warning System Launches | Texas News

One year after deadly July floods claimed over 130 lives, researchers at UT Arlington are launching a $4 million flood warning system funded by the governor’s office—designed to give Texans in the Hill Country 30 minutes to 2 hours of advance notice before flash floods strike. Using radar, stream data, and AI, the system predicts flood depth and danger zones in real time, delivering alerts via website, text, and sirens. But tech alone isn’t enough—educating communities on how to respond is key. The team aims to finish by September 2027, but hopes to deploy a test version sooner to save more lives before nature unleashes its fury again.
