$1. 2 million flood warning network aims to give residents hours of notice across the Rio Grande Valley
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Cameron County is developing a flood early warning system to provide residents in the Rio Grande Valley with timely alerts about potential flooding. Currently, 48 data collection stations are operational, with plans to add at least 18 more. The system aims to give residents several hours of advance notice, allowing them to prepare by gathering sandbags and important documents. The stations will communicate with each other to monitor rising water levels and send alerts downstream. The project, costing approximately $1.2 million, is funded by the state, and a sign-up link for flood alerts will be available this fall.
