The staff (or at least the staff leadership) should / could have had cell phones. Whether there was cell coverage is another story.

I'm the emergency manager at my employer, who operates a summer camp (not in Texas, thank fuck). We don't want our clients bringing devices because of the distraction from programming and potential for Bad Things(tm) to happen. We don't want our direct care staff carrying their phones because we want their focus and attention on the clients. We also have a well-developed communications, hazard notification, and emergency plan, however.

Yeah if the camp had radios, the guy with weather information could give a holler to the people in danger, that could work
