A flood warning system has been credited with saving lives during recent catastrophic floods in the area. This system represents a significant improvement from the previous year.
The previous year's flooding was particularly devastating, with a death toll of 119 people. A lack of flood sirens at that time was partly blamed for the high number of casualties.
Further details about the flood warning system and its impact are available through CBS Austin.
