The Texas House-Senate investigative committee held hearings last week about the tragedy at Camp Mystic, which resulted in the deaths of 25 young girls and two teenage counselors during a flash flood at the historic all-girls camp in Kerr County. The committee found that the camp's staff had more than enough time to move all the campers to safer locations but failed to prepare for a catastrophic flood. The state has a duty to ensure this does not happen again and not reopen the camp under its current ownership. Despite this, the committee argues that the decision to reopen Camp Mystic has divided some wealthy neighborhoods around Texas, where families have sent girls to spend summers on the banks of the Guadalupe River. The tragedy revealed weaknesses in flood plain management, emergency preparedness, disaster warning systems, communications, and camp safety.
