Dallas mother Carrie Hanna spent joyful adolescent years at Camp Mystic, the idyllic spot along the Guadalupe River where she met some of her best friends and learned some of life’s most important lessons.

A Texas Legislative Committee heard for the first time from the parents who demanded better flood warning systems, better training and equipment for camps near the river.

The parents of girls who lost their lives at Camp Mystic on July 4 will testify before the Texas Senate Disaster Preparedness and Flooding Select Committee in support of Senate Bill 1.
