The deadly Texas floods have brought the state's approach to land approvals, especially in flood-prone areas, under more scrutiny.

Kerr County had discussed buying such things as water gauges and sirens after previous flood disasters. But as with many rural Texas counties, cost was an issue.

The owner of Texas Christian summer camp Camp Mystic died during the state's horrific floods last week, despite repeatedly warning officials about the volatility of the nearby Guadalupe River.

At least 121 people are dead from the devastating flooding in the Texas Hill Country.Kerr County was hit the hardest, with at least 96 deaths, including 36 children. President Donald Trump signed a disaster declaration for the county and the Federal Emergency Management Agency is on the ground there.

Kerr County failed to secure a warning system, even as local officials remained aware of the risks and as billions of dollars were available for similar projects.

Records released Tuesday show Camp Mystic met state regulations for disaster procedures, but details of the plan remain unclear.

Experts share key questions parents should ask about summer camp safety following the deadly Texas flooding that left dozens dead at a girls’ camp.

With hundreds confirmed dead or still missing, questions remain about the local response to flood warnings. Meanwhile, lawmakers will weigh measures to mitigate future disasters.
