Relating to the Internet posting of localized health and safety alerts by a municipality or county.
SB 28 requires Texas municipalities and counties with websites to post localized health and safety alerts on their websites when they receive them from official sources like the National Weather Service or Texas Division of Emergency Management. The bill mandates that each alert must include a geographic display of affected areas, links to current information, projected movement of the event, and specific safety instructions. It applies only to alerts received after the bill’s effective date and does not create new alert systems. This requirement ensures consistent public access to critical emergency information during weather or safety events.
