[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1065753, member: 10086"] It’s close to home. Members of my church had a daughter that was at Mystic. Thankfully she survived. In a time when technology is so touted, it’s inconceivable this wasn’t addressed. Even my subdivision in NE Texas plays a practice warning on the 1st Tuesday morning each month over a positioned loudspeaker maybe 2-3 blocks away. It’s spooky sounding only used for tornado like weather. Here’s a case where several distress calls to evacuate to higher ground would’ve saved dozens of lives and that’s shooting low. The other idea would be to have a roof top or emergency door exit strategy near the ceiling in each cabin. Have them equipped with a shelf or loading platform and life vests hanging within reach. Should be a short ladder starting at 4 feet high extending to a higher point to the hatch exiting to outside. Similar outside with a ladder extending back down with 2 launch levels and eye hooks on either side. Hook the raft to both hooks and pull the inflation string and it holds the boat tight to the home until a release lever on the boat detaches it. If practiced similar to a routine fire drill these techniques take a just couple of minutes (tops) to employ and the time it takes to climb a ladder and drop in secure a vest and release. Many were trapped in their cabins with water breach and pressure holding doors shut. No possibility or time of escape when they had only realistically a few minutes to react. Also there should be a night guard watch for each group on 4-5 cabins or per campsights with 2-3 volunteers paired taking a 3hr shift 10-1,1-4,4-7 walking the grounds looking for signs of rising water or mudslide events and following forecast and updated hourly and direct contact to Park Rangers If there is any inclimate weather whatsoever they should be Equipped with emergency evacuation Horns and cabin monitors, setting off a distress call if danger ⚠️ is imminent. Then having location forwarded to local authorities as to specifics of the event. Then rehearsed temporary and permanent evacuation shelters meeting places with beacons that can be activated, similar to a mini lighthouse and distress speakers in each direction. With an evacuation plan. [/QUOTE]
