One Year After Camp Mystic Flood | San Antonio News

One year after a deadly flood in the Hill Country claimed over 130 lives, communities like Kerrville and Hunt are still grappling with grief and unanswered questions. The state’s final report on Camp Mystic, where 27 campers died, exposed critical failures — no emergency plans, poor storm monitoring, and even counselors’ phones being confiscated. In response, lawmakers passed new safety laws, including flood sirens for vulnerable zones, stricter camp regulations, and better emergency protocols. Kerr County is investing $30,000 to install 30 sirens along the Guadalupe River and exploring GMRS radios for reliable communication. Camp Mystic, now bankrupt, faces lawsuits and has canceled its second campus this summer — a move some families see as avoiding accountability. While the camp industry rebounds economically, healing for survivors remains slow and deeply personal.
