Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick told CBS News Monday that the state of Texas could pay for storm sirens along the Guadalupe River.

As the search and recovery continues in Kerry County, the issue of emergency sirens have become a focus both locally and across teas.

Nicole Wilson is calling on state and local officials to “implement a modern outdoor early warning siren system for floods, tornadoes, and other life-threatening emergencies.”

Over 35,000 signed a petition urging Kerr County to install flood warning sirens after flash flooding killed at least 100 people on July 4.

Former Kerr County Commissioner Tom Moser said in 2016 their flood warning system was "marginal at best." Still, the county couldn't get grants for sirens.

A small Texas town recorded no deaths in last weekend’s flood disaster after it recently upgraded its emergency alert system — the kind of equipment that state and county officials repeatedly balked at installing just a few miles away in storm-ravaged Kerr County.

The death toll from Texas flooding over the weekend surpassed 100 on Monday evening as search and rescue teams continue the hunt for dozens of missing victims. At least 104 people are dead across six counties.
