Texas Lawmakers Tackle Flood Preparedness After Deadly Storms | JQJO

Following devastating Texas floods, Governor Greg Abbott called a special legislative session to address flood preparedness. Lawmakers will consider improving early warning systems, emergency communications, and streamlining disaster recovery. The session will also address redistricting, prompted by Department of Justice concerns, and other issues such as property tax reduction and abortion laws. While some argue redistricting benefits Republicans, the immediate focus is on enhancing the state's resilience against future flooding, spurred by the recent tragedy.
