The deadly Texas floods have brought the state's approach to land approvals, especially in flood-prone areas, under more scrutiny.

Many camps in the Guadalupe river region are adjacent or are partially inside high-risk flood zones, according to maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Kerr County had discussed buying such things as water gauges and sirens after previous flood disasters. But as with many rural Texas counties, cost was an issue.

Records released Tuesday show Camp Mystic met state regulations for disaster procedures, but details of the plan remain unclear.

Experts suggested that more data and education are needed as Texas and the rest of the country build in known flood plains.

Kerr County failed to secure a warning system, even as local officials remained aware of the risks and as billions of dollars were available for similar projects.

In areas that see rainfall and increased cloud cover, temperatures are expected to remain below seasonal averages into next week, providing some relief from the summer heat. However, much of central and southern Texas, areas in the recovery phase from the catastrophic flooding, will face dangerous heat instead of renewed flooding.
