Camp co-owner Richard Eastland, 70, also died trying to rescue campers. Ferruzzo and Eastland were among at least 87 victims in Kerr County, the hardest-hit area. In response, the Ferruzzo family has created a foundation in Katherine’s honor.

Critics have called for better flood alert systems, while leaders pledged improvements. The search continues for several missing from the camp as the community mourns this historic tragedy.
