Flood Warning System Expansion & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
UGRA faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including unfinished flood-warning activation protocols and partially deployed notification systems, compounded by recent catastrophic flooding and public scrutiny. Texas SB 3 mandates outdoor warning sirens and finalized emergency action plan procedures, while fragmented multi-vendor systems underscore the need for orchestration and consolidation.
The opportunity
The FY27 proposed budget includes $5.38M for flood-warning technology, with over $1.45M in grants already awarded, creating a high-urgency window for action within the current 90-day budget adoption cycle. Advancing this project now ensures compliance with state mandates, closes life-safety gaps, and maximizes active grant funding before the fiscal year closes.

High Priority
About this project
Finalized emergency action plan procedures for siren activation remain incomplete, and no dedicated emergency management coordinator is in place — creating direct compliance exposure under Texas SB 3. Recent catastrophic flooding and heightened public scrutiny have made these procedural and staffing gaps an urgent operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
Texas SB 3 mandates and the FY27 budget cycle — which includes over $5 million in flood warning system funding and active grant awards — create a narrow, time-sensitive window to close preparedness gaps, strengthen public safety outcomes, and align expenditures with already-approved appropriations.

About this project
The Guadalupe River Flood Warning System faces integration and scalability challenges as the gauge network expands across a fragmented multi-vendor ecosystem. Unfinished activation protocols, partially deployed notification systems, and Texas SB 3 compliance requirements elevate public safety and operational risk.
The opportunity
FY27 budget allocations include over $5 million for flood warning infrastructure, with active grant funding and cooperative purchasing agreements available to accelerate procurement. Addressing network gaps now strengthens regional flood response, advances SB 3 compliance, and maximizes approved funding before the fiscal cycle closes.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Rising auto liability and physical damage insurance premiums in FY2027 signal growing financial exposure tied to limited fleet visibility. The absence of dash cameras and telematics leaves the organization without data to defend against claims or proactively reduce risk.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget cycle presents a timely window to address fleet risk before premiums escalate further, with cooperative purchasing vehicles available to streamline procurement. Adopting fleet safety technology now can reduce liability exposure and strengthen stewardship of public assets.
