When tragedies are in the news — natural disasters, plane crashes, fires — parents naturally and unavoidably react by thinking about what might happen to their own children. And children worry in turn about what might happen to them.

One local summer camp in the path of the disastrous flooding in central Texas was able to avoid any loss of life by closely monitoring weather reports.

For many in Oklahoma, summer means summer camp. But as the flooding tragedy unfolds in Texas, how are camps preparing in case of emergencies?

In the wake of Texas' catastrophic floods, faith communities have rallied in prayer, mourning and relief efforts to support grieving families and survivors.

As floodwaters rose in Texas, camp counselors hoisted children onto rafters, carried them to dry ground and sang with them to keep them calm.

Meanwhile, Texas authorities have pledged to continue search and rescue operations until every missing person is found.
