Kendall County Receives $1M for Flood Warning System

Kendall County has accepted a $1 million state grant to install flood warning systems along the Guadalupe River, following last summer’s devastating flooding across the Hill Country. The funding comes from the Texas Water Development Board as part of a larger statewide effort to improve flood detection and emergency response in affected counties.

County officials say planning is already underway to determine where sirens and flood detection equipment would be most effective, with coordination likely between Kendall, Kerr, and neighboring counties to improve upstream warnings and response times. The goal is to better protect lives and property during future flood events.
