they ignored past warnings.
That is negligence.
You didn't read the article:
Since 2016, the topic of a "flood warning system" for Kerr County has come up at 20 different county commissioners' meetings, according to minutes.
The idea for a system was first introduced by Kerr County Commissioner Thomas Moser and Emergency Management Coordinator Dub Thomas in March 2016.
Moser noted that neighboring counties had much more advanced flood warning systems than Kerr County, "even though this is probably one of the highest flood-prone regions in the entire state."
Following the March 2016 meeting, the flood warning system was discussed at 10 more commissioners' meetings that year. But after the county failed to secure FEMA grant funding to implement the system, it appeared to fall off the agenda.
In a November 2020 discussion of a new FEMA emergency alert program, Thomas noted, "We've been trying to get a new Flood Warning System here. We haven't been able to do it."
The last time commissioners mentioned the flood warning system was in July 2021, meeting minutes show. But since then, other local government bodies in Kerr County have discussed the possibility of a new flood warning system for the area.
