Relating to the Internet posting of localized health and safety alerts by a municipality or county.
This bill requires Texas municipalities and counties with internet websites to post localized health and safety alerts on their websites in a clear, visible location. The alerts must include affected areas with geographic threat maps, links to current information, projected movement of the event, and safety instructions like evacuation zones. It applies only to alerts from federal or state agencies (such as the National Weather Service or Texas Division of Emergency Management) received on or after the bill's effective date. The requirement does not apply to entities without websites or to alerts received before the effective date.
