He sure was cowering under his desk like a little removed though.

Thanks for that - I never really understood it. So is this an example of a good or bad ratio? (I don't eX-Twitter at all, this is the extent of my social media presence)

See my comment about NOAA weather radios

Ignoring the warnings when they say "extreme danger to life" for the river you're in when your buildings and the kids you're responsible for are in the damn river's floodplain does not "make it difficult to decide".

I'm not virtue signaling. I'm mad as fucking hell. Because I know there are actions that could (and damn well should) have been taken to protect those kids and counselors, and the rot began at the top.

I replied elsewhere, but I'm gonna stick it here as well for visibility:

NOAA Weather Radios go off like alarm clocks when warnings are issued. Loud as hell. We hear ours 1 floor away through closed doors with a fan and a white noise machine. This camp absolutely should have had not 1 but 2 of these in separate locations.

I'm the emergency manager of a camp. We have redundant alert and notification systems, a full All Hazards emergency plan and drill routinely for sheltering and evacuation.

No less should have been done for these kids. This is 100% on the hands of the leadership of the camp. Full stop.

Thanks Oprah for your continued gift upon this nation of this shitstain.

Oz, Dr. Phil, and JD fucking Vance are all blood on your hands.

They should have had NOAA weather radios at least.

NOAA weather radios. They receive pretty much everywhere people inhabit in the CONUS. go off like alarm clocks when the NWS issues watches / warnings / advisories.

Don't rely on one layer of notification. That layer will fail in an emergency. Have a backup plan to the backup plan. Hell, even a selected broadcast media in every market is required to rebroadcast NOAA alerts. Turn on the TV or fm radio for background noise when the weather is squiffy. The alert tone will get your attention.
