Kerr County installs new flash‑flood sirens ahead of summer camp season

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:01]Just days before the summer camp season begins for pretty much everybody in the state, Kerr County is now equipped with a flash flood outdoor warning system.

[00:00:09]And this is one of six outdoor sirens located right along the Guadalupe River.

[00:00:14]And that system was installed all in response, of course, to Senate Bill 3, which requires now outdoor warning sirens in high-risk flood areas to alert people when flood danger is imminent.

[00:00:25]The bill, of course, was passed after the devastating July 4th flooding in the Hill Country last summer. Each siren is designed to be heard up to a mile away, depending on weather as well as terrain.
