Скачать или смотреть Emergency alert bill faces renewed scrutiny after deadly floods kill more than 100

A bipartisan bill aimed at strengthening emergency communication networks and warning systems across Texas stalled in the Senate during the regular legislative session, despite passing the House with broad support. Now, with a special session set to begin on July 21, lawmakers are revisiting the issue in light of recent deadly flooding in Central Texas. House Bill 13, supported by legislators across party lines, proposed the creation of a government council to develop an emergency response plan and administer a grant program focused on improving coordination among first responders. The bill also called for incorporating outdoor warning sirens into local emergency plans.
