[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were to read the lawsuits, it’s not just that issue of cabins being close to water. It’s the actions taken that night, after warnings issued. Moving equipment was prioritized over moving campers, ordering campers to shelter in place despite being a 1 minute walk from safety…lying to parents when the campers were known to have died, to cover up their mistakes.

Moving equipment is a red herring. Camps move canoes and equipment when it looks like any sign of flooding because they are close to the water. This doesn't mean the cabins (which are higher) always have to be evacuated too. Sheltering in place was initially deemed the safest plan so that they didn't get washed away outside. For the same reasons people are urged to stay home during flash floods in the area. The way they handled the communication that morning and afternoon reflected the disorganization and complete collapse of administrative functioning in the aftermath. The office was flooded as well.

None of the above excuses what happened, but I am providing some context to the petitions.
