When nearby counties installed flood sirens, Kerr County did not. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick now says state could do it.

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

Kerr County was aware of flooding issues in 2016. A former commissioner explains why sirens weren't installed.

Former Kerr County Commissioner Tom Moser said in 2016 their flood warning system was "marginal at best." Still, the county couldn't get grants for sirens.
