King County approves changes to early warning systems amid TX flooding

KING COUNTY, Wash. - The King County Flood Control District Board has approved changes to early warning systems.

These changes were unanimously approved by the board, following the devastating flash floods from the Guadalupe River in the Texas Hill Country.

What will the changes improve or impact?

The approved changes will call for increased preparedness, more community awareness and improved early warning alert systems in King County.

The changes will implement improved ‘Be Flood Ready’ brochures, that include more comprehensive information about all types of flooding. Additionally, materials – like the brochures – will be translated into additional languages to reach more King County residents.
