AI Summary
This bill requires campgrounds located in floodplains, which are areas prone to flooding, to implement specific safety measures. Specifically, any campground operating in a floodplain in Iowa must install an emergency alarm system that can operate independently of an internet connection, ensuring it functions even during power outages. Additionally, these campgrounds must clearly post emergency evacuation directions within all occupied structures, such as cabins or restrooms, to guide people in case of an emergency. The Department of Natural Resources, a state agency responsible for managing natural resources, is authorized to enforce these new requirements.
