This is pretty common at summer camps with cell phones, there are many reasonst. It's also common however to have people in place who are trained and will respond to such incidents regardless of camp size, location or time of day.
I worked as the director of health for a major kids camp in Canada for a long while. This phone call would have come to me at our camp. We had almost 1000 people across three sites in our summer camp then. Only three people on each site had phones permanently but I guarantee this would have been responded to immediately. Evacuation plans in place and reviews and updates for them every year. I received emergency calls all the time. Day and night.
I guess what I'm getting at is there shouldn't have been that many people in one place without Evac plans, having practiced them and someone who answers an emergency line 24 hours a day who has experience and knowledge in emergency situations. An hour warning is more than enough time to evac this small a camp if you are prepared.
Not just the state and weather are to blame for this tragedy. The camp needs to bear just as much responsibility. They've taken on these children with the responsibility to care for and protect them. They didn't do that.
There are a number of international unions that could use a clean house and redo. Most of them represent the lowest paid workers. This isn't just a 'murica problem. Canada is no better.
Mall security with guns and people's lives in their hands in the Florida Everglades. Should be awesome. There won't be any problems for sure. I hope my fellow Canadians can put pressure on to somehow make this more public.
Canadian here. I have to correct you on this. This concentration camp may be in Florida but It was built and is being staffed by Gardaworld. A Canadian company. Fucking fuckers.
As a Canadian I think we shouldn't even be entertaining the thought of trade with the regime (yes I know how difficult that would be and realistically it's not immediately possible. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be working toward it) Unfortunately we have a conservative banker in liberal colors as PM and that's never going to happen.
Edit: and the same type of brain rot citizenry raised on American exceptionalism who will argue that our PM has our best interests in mind. That they believe he's smarter than the average bear and we couldn't ever comprehend his tactics because we are just dumb pleebs.
I didn't once say cites are full of boogeymen. I've not even suggested I was scared of the city. I mentioned nothing about different lifestyles either. In fact I didn't even tell you whether I lived in a city or not and you know nothing about my own lifestyle. It's not childish. It's reality. Here we are with a bunch of people drawing assumptions about me simply because I made a statement they don't agree with. That's what is childish.
You won't get support until you organise and resist. It's pretty simple. Ukraine didn't have a backer either. People had their kids and Baba's filling glass bottles with styrofoam.
You'll never gain my support again, ever. Allowing threats of annexation of Canada and silence from all of 'murica on that subject. Instigation of economic warfare on us was just another strike. Now it's the complicity of the American people to complete fascism and arguments against doing anything to stand up for yourselves and your neighbors.
I'll meet you at the border though when they press you into service for the water wars. No matter how prepared I am.
I'll remember that no one asked for my help. I'll remember that in fact when I offered help I was told to go away and fuck off long before your drumphkins was brought to power twice. I'll remember that you're fascist lovers and refuse to fight for yourselves. I'll remember that you don't need me or my countrymen even when we are in your country volunteering to help. No worries there. I have lots of first hand experience to solidify those memories.
Good luck with that when you really do need us to help because at this rate it's coming faster than you can imagine. You and your countrymen have guaranteed my skills will not be offered to assist nor will those of anyone who will listen to me and people like me and read your comments.
Being a coward is easy. Standing up to fascists is hard. Back to the couch.
