A bill for an act relating to camping, including emergency safety requirements at campgrounds located in floodplains.
HF 2626 requires campgrounds operating in Iowa floodplains to install emergency alarm systems that function without internet and post evacuation directions in all occupied structures. This directly affects campgrounds located in floodplains across Iowa, mandating specific safety measures for visitor protection during flood events. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will enforce these requirements, ensuring campgrounds have reliable emergency systems in place. The bill focuses on concrete safety infrastructure, not broader policy changes or funding.
