Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick told CBS News Monday that the state of Texas could pay for storm sirens along the Guadalupe River.

As the search and recovery continues in Kerry County, the issue of emergency sirens have become a focus both locally and across teas.

A small Texas town that recorded no deaths in last weekend’s flood disaster had recently upgraded its emergency alert system — the kind of setup state, county and federal officials

After horrific flooding took the lives of more than 100 people in Texas, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says the state will install sirens along parts of the Guadalupe River by next summer. Former Kerr County Commissioner Tom Moser joins Chris Jansing to explain the difference sirens could have made in warning people of the oncoming floods and the possible “nuisance” some people say they can cause.

Over 35,000 signed a petition urging Kerr County to install flood warning sirens after flash flooding killed at least 100 people on July 4.

Gov. Greg Abbott has promised to add flood response to the agenda for the July 21 special session, with an expected focus on alert systems and local recovery.

Officials in Kerr County, Texas — where 27 campers and counselors at a Christian summer camp were killed in catastrophic flooding — had discussed installing a flood warning system
