Austin Miller started this petition to Texas State House

My goal is to provide the citizens of Houston/Harris county and Southeast TX with a long overdue OWS (Outdoor Warning Siren) system that is much needed. Harris county and the Houston area are the 2nd most tornado prone county in the entire United States! But there is no warning system for tornadoes or any other disaster than smartphones or TV or radio. Please understand these sirens can run on battery backup and can speak direct vocal messages about impending threats. These are no longer just “tornado sirens”. To give you an idea, here are a couple links that show just how many tornadoes Houston, TX contends with - Including strong to violent tornadoes. Houston OEM believes (along with their residents) that cell phones etc will simply do the job. What happens when cell coverage is down and power is out? It’s your time to decide the safety of Houston and Southeast TX! https://www.homefacts.com/tornadoes/Texas/Harris-County/Houston.html
