Interesting, the Texas Department of State Health Services had put in a new requirement (post Camp Mystic) that all youth camps have fiber optic Internet service. (being challenged in court) "...The Texas Department of State Health Services has reached an agreement with a group of youth camp operators regarding legal requirements that all camps licensed by DSHS maintain fiber optic internet service. Under the agreement, camps that maintain a redundant, broadband internet service will not face potential license denial or revocation for not having fiber service during the 2026 camping season, as long as they meet all other safety requirements...." https://www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/dshs-reaches-agreement-fiber-optic-requirement-youth-camps #TXwx #disasters #CampMystic

"ML: We’ve dealt with everything in Houston during my time here. It’s been incredible to see the variety of extreme weather we get—cold, hot, drought, flood, hurricane. As a meteorologist I’m fascinated and intrigued by that. But at a certain point I was like, is it better for me to be doing this job from somewhere else rather than constantly having to juggle both informing people and worrying about my family?" https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/matt-lanza-leaving-houston/ #PublicHealth #climate #environment #disasters #texas
