Floods Don’t Care what’s on the line—and during a flood, everything is on the line.
About the size of your truck.
If you're a risk-taker.
While flooding is inevitable, most flood deaths are preventable.
People often underestimate the power and danger of moving water. In a 2021 study, researchers at UT San Antonio found that almost 90% of all flood deaths occur when a person attempts to drive or walk through floodwaters.
Floods Don’t Care is an awareness campaign with the goal of achieving zero flood deaths during flood events across San Antonio, Bexar County, and surrounding areas. The campaign is part of a larger effort to provide the public with more timely flood warnings, and to change the way people evaluate and respond to flood risks.
NextGen Flood Warning System
By upgrading our flood detection and alert systems, and teaching people how to prepare for and react to floods, we can prevent future natural disasters from becoming deadly catastrophes.
The Floods Don’t Care campaign was created to support the launch of the NextGen Flood Warning System, a collaborative effort between the San Antonio River Authority, Bexar County, the City of San Antonio, and other local jurisdictions, to upgrade our region’s flood detection and alert systems. That includes the installation of new sensors and gauges in Wilson, Karnes, and Goliad counties.
Get Real-Time Updates
With the expansion of the flood monitoring network, SARiverFlood.org now shows low water crossings across all four counties in the San Antonio River Authority’s jurisdiction.
You can use SARiverFlood.org to monitor road conditions across all four counties in real time. Green means the road is safe, yellow means water is rising, and red means the road is closed. You can also sign up for alerts to receive text or email notifications when low water crossings you choose to monitor have water over the road.
Each county’s map is also accessible through its own dedicated site:
