ACA, Texoma Update on Flooding Consequences
to Camps in
the Region
Danielle Shaw, executive director of ACA,
Texoma, reports camps in the area are not
experiencing any threats to camper safety
as a result of the flooding. The issues
camps are dealing with currently are related
to potential damage to buildings and structures
because of the volume of rain fall.
According to Shaw, camps are managing
the issues with rain and flooding well,
especially camps near rivers and lake areas. “They are
well prepared and have experience in dealing
with these conditions. They have incredible
systems in place, good risk management plans, and
have experienced, well-trained staff,” says
Shaw.
