Residents of Sandy Creek and members of the Sandy Creek Alliance urged Travis County commissioners on Tuesday, Sept. 29, to install River Sentry sirens in areas at risk of flooding. The speakers told the Commissioners Court that the warning system could help alert residents to dangerous conditions. Supporters said it has state approval and pointed to its use in Kerrville as an example of how sirens can help protect communities during floods. Ashlee Willis, of Sandy Creek Alliance and Rebuild, called the proposal a chance for the county to invest in a solution she described as effective, affordable and capable of saving lives. The meeting appeal comes as communities in Central Texas continue to weigh ways to warn people quickly when flood conditions develop. The county’s response to the request was not included in the information provided.
