[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to see a system where camps couldn't get permits unless they demonstrate an effective communication/evacuation system[/quote]

This is already in place.[/quote]

If it was in place we wouldn’t have had this catastrophe.  Please stop gaslighting. [/quote]

Gaslighting? I am not sure what you mean. I know for a fact the camps are required to have these systems in place. Also, one can have all the plans and permits in the world but that is no guarantee with the unpredictability of mother nature and water especially in today's climate. [/quote]

Some of the camps were prepared and evacuated.  Others clearly were not prepared and did not evacuate.  CLEARLY not.  So stop trying to assert there was no human failure.[/quote]

I’m not the PP but there’s plenty of human failure to go around:  the Mystic camp who had its youngest campers so close to a river that regularly flash floods, the Kerr County citizens who didn’t want to pay the $1 million for an flood warning system, and the Texas pols who voted for 51$bn in property tax cuts rather than approve the grant that Kerr county asked for to pay for the early warning system.

Dumb pols and cheap Texans who rather pay 100$ for a cure rather than 1$ for prevention.[/quote]

+1 And always wearing a cowboy hat while they vote down safety measures and a warning system.  Now expecting billions in aid.[/quote]
