The federal government allowed Camp Mystic, the all-girls summer camp along the Guadalupe River, to remove multiple buildings from government flood maps, even though private data suggests the flood threat remained, and was even worse than the government reported, according to documents and data NPR has reviewed.
The camp requested that FEMA, the agency responsible for creating maps that help warn Americans where water might rise, remove more than a dozen buildings from what FEMA designates a floodplain at least twice in 2013, 2019 and 2020, the documents show. That last request in 2020 coincided with a major expansion during which the camp built a number of new structures but does not appear to have taken down any cabins from dangerous flood areas.
At least I’m not a heartless pos that cheers on dead children.
The time to “think of the children” was when the flood maps came out.
Wtf is even your point? They’re literally saying that children deserved to die. Why are you coming up and defending them?
“if you’re not omniscient, you don’t get to be upset when something bad happens”
Pretty dumb logic. Can’t think of the children potentially impacted by manipulated flood maps if you live across the world and don’t know about said flood maps.
But now that children are drowning, your response is “fuck 'em, they should have looked at accurate flood maps”. WTF!
Mexico is sending rescuers to help with the efforts, while FEMA emergency funds were diverted to build domestic concentration camps.
You don’t fucking need omniscience for this. FEMA SAW IT COME 5 FUCKING YEARS AGO. Holy shit you people are fucking feeders.
Yes, we agree that it’s the government’s fault, we’re simply disagreeing with the “fuck the kids they deserve to die, they shouldn’t have voted for corrupt politicians that didn’t give them accurate maps”
