<p>Camp Mystic's emergency plan was approved by Texas inspectors just two days before disaster struck Friday when floods ravaged the grounds, killing 27 campers and counselors, according to a report.</p>
<p>The camp complied with a laundry list of regulations regarding "procedures to be implemented in case of a disaster," including evacuation plans, according to records from the Department of State Health Services obtained by The .</p>
<p>Five years of inspection records reviewed by the AP, however, did not detail Camp Mystic's disaster plan, which are required by state law to be posted in all camp buildings.</p>

<p>Local and state officials have repeatedly avoided answering questions about who was monitoring the approaching storm and what steps were taken to prepare for the flooding.</p>
<p>The waters inundated the Guadalupe River and swept away cabins, tents and trailers.</p>
<p>Officials said Tuesday that five campers and one counselor remain missing.</p>

<p>Overall, at least 172 people are still missing in Texas' Hill Country days after once-in-a generation flash floods, Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday.</p>
<p>Abbott took a helicopter tour of the affected area, noting the death tolls from the floods — which now stands at 111 — has surpassed the number of Texans killed in Hurricane Harvey in August 2017, in which 103 people died.</p>
<p>Kerr County, where Camp Mystic was located, accounted for 87 of the deaths. Rescuers continue to search for survivors.</p>
