Cabins at Camp Mystic, the Texas youth camp where 27 people died, had long sat in a flood zone.
The New York Times analyzed federal data to identify 19 cabins at Camp Mystic that were located in designated flood zones, including some in an area the county had deemed “extremely hazardous.”
The camp pursued an expansion project six years ago. Instead of relocating cabins to higher ground, it put new ones in the flood zone.
