In response to the devastating floods that claimed the lives of campers at Camp Mystic, Texas lawmakers have passed a series of new safety regulations aimed at enhancing flood protections at youth camps. Among the critical measures, camps will be required to remove cabins from floodplains and implement effective warning systems. Parents of victims have been vocal in advocating for these safety changes, sharing their emotional journeys of grief while pushing for stronger protections to prevent future tragedies. Despite pushback from camp operators regarding the new laws, the legislation has been finalized and is set to be signed by Governor Greg Abbott. The recent developments come after a special session focused on flood safety, with parents and lawmakers highlighting the urgent need for reform in the wake of the catastrophic July floods.
