Texas HB172 establishes emergency safety certification requirements for campgrounds, including emergency preparedness plans and communication devices.

The plan must also include procedures for safely evacuating in emergencies. The Texas Division of Emergency Management will prescribe the requirements for the certification and the form and manner for submitting the plan.
