As we close the Texas Flood Awareness Week, lets talk about how you will get your next flood alert,
Flash floods can strike in minutes, and relying on just ONE way to get alerts is a risky gamble. Cell networks can drop, phones can lose battery, or you might simply be asleep. Protect yourself and your family with multiple overlapping layers of ways to receive flood/flash flood alerts:
✅ Wireless Emegency Alerts (WEA) enabled on your phone and phone fully charged
✅ NOAA Weather Radio with a battery backup incase of power outages
✅ Local TV & Radio broadcasts
✅ Trusted Weather Apps with push notifications
✅ Contact local Office of Emergency Management to opt-in for local alerting networks
❌ Outdoor sirens are for the outdoors! Don’t rely on them indoors
