Audacy on MSNReport: FEMA missed major risks at Camp MysticBefore floodwaters rushed into the nearly century-old Camp Mystic in Texas this July 4 – resulting in the deaths of young campers – there were signs that the area was dangerous.
Many camps in the Guadalupe river region are adjacent or are partially inside high-risk flood zones, according to maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
New data reveals FEMA missed major flood risks at Camp Mystic, where over two dozen died in the Texas flood. And, U.S. measles cases hit the highest level in over three decades.
At least 19 of the cabins at Camp Mystic were located in designated flood zones, including some in an area deemed “extremely hazardous” by the county.
