Travis County Commissioners Court — River Sentry Flood Warning System
This is the big one for Sandy Creek flood safety. River Sentry has submitted a proposal to Travis County for a modern flood detection and warning system for our community.
Sandy Creek Alliance is asking Commissioners Court to move the River Sentry proposal forward. We need residents there to show Commissioners that Sandy Creek wants — and needs — early flood warning infrastructure.

Show up. Speak up. Stay involved.
Public meetings can feel intimidating — but this is how local government works. You don't have to be an expert. You don't need a prepared speech. You just need to tell decision-makers what your community needs.
Sandy Creek Alliance will keep bringing the community's voice to the table. Come with us.
