SUMMARY: FEMA removed several Camp Mystic buildings from the 100-year floodplain map for Kerr County after appeals from the camp, changing boundaries first set in 2011. This appeals process, similar to contesting a property appraisal, happened three times, benefiting the camp each time. Experts question why Camp Mystic spent resources appealing instead of relocating vulnerable structures, especially given the clear flood risks. It’s unclear if the map changes affected lives during flooding. Legal challenges are expected, while officials stress the need for communities to take flood risks seriously, including improved safety measures like outdoor flood warning systems at Camp Mystic.

The Associated Press reports that parts of Camp Mystic were removed from FEMA’s 100-year flood plain after an appeal by the camp. 27 campers and counselors were killed at the all-girls camp in Hunt, Texas in the flooding on July 4.
