SB 3 is a Texas law that requires municipalities and counties to install outdoor warning sirens in areas affected by the July 2025 Hill Country floods. The law establishes a state grant program to help cover installation costs. Local governments must maintain and test these sirens regularly to keep our communities safe during flash flooding.
