In the early morning hours of July 4, deadly flash floods tore through Texas Hill Country, killing more than 100 people — including dozens of children at Camp Mystic.

But one town, Comfort, didn’t lose a single resident.

The difference? Comfort had a wailing warning siren.

When cell service failed and phones were silenced, the town’s new siren system — manually triggered by first responders — cut through the noise, blaring a clear signal: get out now.

Just 20 miles away in Kerr County, where no such sirens existed, floodwaters rose 26 feet in 45 minutes. Entire cabins were swept away.

A wailing warning siren can reach those asleep, outside, or disconnected. It’s loud. It’s unmistakable. It saves lives.

Yet countless U.S. towns still lack this basic emergency system — even in known flood and wildfire zones.

We’re calling on FEMA, Congress, and state emergency management leaders to fund and install wailing warning sirens in every high-risk town across the U.S.

If Comfort, Texas can do it for $60,000, so can others. The cost of inaction is unbearable.

Sign now to demand a national standard for siren alerts. Every minute counts — and every life matters.
