Texas Floods: Faster Alerts Save Lives

“Texas Floods: Faster Alerts Save Lives” tells how July 2025 flash floods in the Hill Country rose in minutes while many missed timely warnings. Through news footage and testimonies, it explains why alerts failed—unpredictable cloudbursts, slow activation, missed delivery, and weak preparedness in camps and schools. The film proposes a layered alert stack: automatic triggers from USGS gauges and radar; cell-broadcasts to every phone; outdoor sirens and loudspeakers; TV/radio interruptions; and a simple three-level “Ready, Set, Go” plan. The call: urge leaders to adopt these tools and run annual drills.
