BREAKING: FEMA removed dozens of Camp Mystic buildings from their 100-year flood map in Texas in response to appeals.
FEMA removed dozens of Camp Mystic buildings from 100-year flood map before expansion, records show

“The Federal Emergency Management Agency included the prestigious girls’ summer camp in a “Special Flood Hazard Area” in its National Flood Insurance map for Kerr County in 2011, which means it was required to have flood insurance and faced tighter regulation on any future construction projects.
In response to an appeal, FEMA in 2013 amended the county’s flood map to remove 15 of the camp’s buildings from the hazard area. Records show that those buildings were part of the 99-year-old Camp Mystic Guadalupe, which was devastated by last week’s flood.
After further appeals, FEMA removed 15 more Camp Mystic structures in 2019 and 2020 from the designation. Those buildings were located on nearby Camp Mystic Cypress Lake, a sister site that opened to campers in 2020 as part of a major expansion and suffered less damage in the flood.
Experts say Camp Mystic’s requests to amend the FEMA map could have been an attempt to avoid the requirement to carry flood insurance, to lower the camp’s insurance premiums or to pave the way for renovating or adding new structures under less costly regulations.”

Initial narrative was that cuts to the NWS had no impact on the Texas floods and then sure enough the truth comes out that updating flood maps were part of the cuts.

Do we need a weather alert for all the other shoes that are dropping?

So it wasn’t @DOGE cuts. Some people need to issue an apology.

Your expert source is a TDS activist who spent the last 8 years screaming about social justice. Hundreds of anti-Trump rants. No thanks.

Texas repeatedly appealed FEMA trying to protect the area. Smh!

This is deeply troubling, especially in light of the recent tragedy. What was the rationale for these appeals, and what are the implications for safety and accountability?

If Trump were president in 2011, this headline would read "Trump removed..."

90% of map amendments approved? A real shocker:
"It found that the amendments occurred more often in places where property values were higher, more white people lived and buildings were newer."

The GOPs entire goal is and has always been deregulation which is: "we don't care if you needlessly die as long as we can save or make a buck."

Are these the same guys that wanted to let Trump supporters drown in Florida during the hurricanes?

FEMA is a hotbed of disgraceful liberal bureaucrats who spent the last four years flying Haitians into the country illegally in the dead of night and giving them government-paid benefits at our expense.

FEMA found guilty of map editing magic. I sentence this move to high scrutiny and a rain check from Mother Nature.
