Could have bought them all $20 NOAA weather radios.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda.
They could have required it as a part of licensing or permits, one in every cabin.
I don’t think this is the time to second-guess what was done, but clearly they could have done more. Of course the barn doors will be securely nailed shut - now.
This is why we do need some governmental regulatory oversight - because places like private and church camps really ARE too tight to spend the money, and can get away with not protecting the kids. Doesn’t have to be a camp in a flood plain - how about fire and CO2 alarms? A kid died not long ago because of a CO leak in a propane-fired RV furnace. Someone should have minimized the risk to these kids and they failed to do so.
NOAA weather radio’s do not tell you the river state. They talk about rain. It’s utterly inexcusable that there are no flood gauges on the river connected to sirens.
And it would probably really piss you off if you saw the list of crap that county wasted money on.

Hopefully NOW they’ll listen and make that decision!!! I saw Senator Cruz speaking at the briefing earlier today and the powers that be recognize now the need for warning signals of some kind - even if they are only the NOAA WX radios...which do the job!!!! Mine goes off with any warning of bad weather on the way - tornadoes, hurricanes, flash flooding. Happens a lot in Metro Atlanta...No kidding - the noise would wake the most sound of sleepers!!!
