Nope, the warning system wasn't installed because the citizens of the community thought it was too expensive
During a news conference early Friday morning, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said he didn't know why the camps hadn't been evacuated, but that the county did not have an early warning system or outdoor sirens to alert people to flooding conditions.
“We’ve looked into it before … The public reeled at the cost,” Kelly said.
Can someone find me a source on this. Most of the articles I have read say NWS pushed out a flash flood alert 3 hours in advance but the camp itself didn't have any alerting system in place. So if they had cell reception and turned on the emergency alert then they would've been warned.
I'm sure cuts to the NOAA and NWS can't be beneficial for anyone though
Are you telling me that we should stop incorporating a police state, arresting homeless people for public loitering, putting bars on benches? Instead offer more public services and free healthcare to get them back on their feet and better yet, mitigate homelessness to people at risk of being homeless?
Nah, I think we should make it easier to put people in prison for misdemeanors instead.

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said Saturday it was difficult for forecasters to predict just how much rain would fall. She said the Trump administration would make it a priority to upgrade National Weather Service technology used to deliver warnings.
Sure, Kristi. I'm sure you'll say anything for headlines
