Inspectors Approved Camp Disaster Plan Two Days Earlier

HUNT, Texas (AP) — Texas inspectors approved Camp Mystic’s emergency plan just two days before devastating floods killed over 27 people, mostly children, at the Texas summer camp. Records released Tuesday show the camp met state regulations for disaster procedures, but details of the plan remain unclear. On July 4, torrential rain caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly, overwhelming the camp. Survivors clung to trees as cabins and tents were swept away. Despite warnings and nearby camps evacuating, Camp Mystic did not relocate its 557 campers and 100 staff. Questions remain about the camp’s preparedness and response during the disaster.
