Grant to provide new technology to 40 flood-prone Houston intersections

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- New technology is coming to Houston that could help save lives when it comes to street flooding. The City of Houston has won a $9.4 million dollar grant to improve warnings at 40 flood-prone intersections.

The money will be used to add red light warnings to alert drivers. The warning system will be equipped with backup generators, batteries, sensors that will monitor high water, and communicate information online.
