Relating to campground and youth camp safety.

Contracts

• Internet Service Providers (ISPs): You must renegotiate ISP contracts immediately. The law mandates end-to-end fiber optic service *plus* a distinct, secondary broadband connection. If your current provider cannot trench fiber to your location, you are non-compliant.
• Liability Waivers: Amend all camper intake forms. You must include a specific acknowledgment section where parents confirm receipt of your Emergency Plan and Floodplain Notification *before* the camper arrives.
• Construction/Vendor Agreements: Any contract for new cabin construction or renovation that alters bed counts must include strict completion guarantees to align with the 30-day license amendment reporting window.

Hiring/Training

• Designated Emergency Coordinator: You must appoint a specific staff member responsible for active weather monitoring and real-time alerts.
• Mandatory Staff Training: All staff and volunteers must complete annual training on the new Emergency Plan. This training must be documented in personnel files.
• Intake Orientation: Operational workflows must change to ensure every camper receives a safety orientation (boundaries, hazards, behavioral expectations) within 48 hours of arrival.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Emergency Plan Filing: You must submit a comprehensive Emergency Plan (covering 8 specific hazard types) digitally to DSHS by April 1, 2026.
• Local Coordination: Once DSHS approves your plan, you must physically or digitally deliver it to your local County/Municipal Emergency Management Director within 10 business days.
• Floodplain Disclosure: If *any* part of your camp is in a floodplain, you must proactively disclose this to parents.

Fees & Costs

• Capital Expenditures (High): Budget immediately for fiber optic installation, non-internet-based Public Address (PA) systems, and potentially relocating cabins out of flood zones.
• Surveying Costs: You will likely need professional surveyor services to certify cabin elevations relative to FEMA floodways to prove eligibility for licensure renewal.
