Ritron LoudMouth Helps Texas Youth Camps Meet the Heaven’s 27 Camp Safety Act Communication Standard

Texas youth camps and campgrounds are entering a new era of safety expectations. Following the catastrophic Hill Country flooding tragedy that took the lives of 27 campers and counselors in summer 2025, Texas enacted Senate Bill 1, the “Heaven’s 27 Camp Safety Act”—a law designed to strengthen emergency preparedness, response planning, and life-safety communications at licensed youth camps.

One requirement that keeps coming up in guidance and operator discussions is the need for reliable, fast, facility-wide alerting that does not depend on internet or fragile infrastructure—especially when weather turns and minutes matter.

That’s where Ritron LoudMouth® stands out.

Why Wireless Mass Notification Matters Under the Heaven 27 Act

Many camps have a real-world communications challenge:

• Cabins, dining halls, waterfront areas, trails, and activity zones spread across large acreage

• River-adjacent locations and low-lying areas where flooding risk and evacuation urgency are high

• Limited time, budget, or feasibility to trench conduit and install a hard-wired PA across remote terrain

The Heaven’s 27 Act is pushing camps to modernize readiness—especially around rapid notification and coordinated response. In practical terms, camps need a way to reach everyone quickly, across both central areas and isolated points, with clear instructions (evacuate, shelter, move to higher ground, etc.).

The LoudMouth® Wireless PA System: Built for “Anywhere” Coverage

In accordance with the Heaven 27 Campus Safety Act, the LoudMouth® wireless public address system is an ideal solution wherever a hard-wired PA is either too expensive or simply impossible to install. Wireless technology provides a cost-effective, flexible approach to Public Address / Mass Notification across an entire facility—or for targeted “pinpoint” coverage where you need it most.

What LoudMouth Is (and Why Camps Like It)

The LoudMouth Wireless PA system includes:

• A radio receiver with a built-in 8-watt audio amplifier

• An indoor/outdoor-rated horn speaker with a 25-foot cord

• A flex antenna

• A 110–220V AC adapter power supply

Most importantly: authorized personnel can make live PA announcements using existing 2-way radios—without needing to run new wiring to every location.

How LoudMouth Supports Emergency Communication Plans

The Heaven’s 27 Act places heavy emphasis on emergency planning and real operational readiness.
A key part of that readiness is ensuring staff can deliver immediate instructions to:

• cabins and sleeping areas

• dining/assembly spaces

• waterfront / river zones

• parking and arrival areas

• maintenance yards and remote activity fields

With LoudMouth deployed in strategic locations, your team can broadcast instructions from a handheld radio, mobile radio, or base station—helping you execute evacuation routes, shelter protocols, missing camper alerts, severe weather actions, and incident command updates with far less delay.

Where LoudMouth Fits Best on a Camp Property

If your camp is like most, you have “high priority notification zones” that are hard to cover with wired systems. LoudMouth is an excellent fit for:

• Cabins near the river or low-lying areas

• Waterfront staging and swim zones

• Dining hall and main assembly areas

• Parking / check-in and bus drop zones

• Remote activity fields and trailheads

In other words: the exact places where you want instant, unmistakable instructions in a fast-changing situation.

Implementation Tip: Think in “Notification Zones”

To make LoudMouth part of your compliance and safety strategy, many operators plan speaker placement like this:

1. Central zone (dining hall / main gathering)

2. Sleeping zones (cabin clusters)

3. High-risk zones (riverfront, waterfront, flood-prone access points)

4. Perimeter zones (parking, entrances, maintenance)

This “zone approach” maps cleanly to emergency action plans and staff roles—so when a weather alert, evacuation, or security event occurs, your team can communicate clearly, immediately, and consistently.

FAQ: LoudMouth + Heaven’s 27 Act

Does LoudMouth replace a full hard-wired PA system?
In many camp environments, it can complement or partially replace wired systems—especially where trenching and cabling are unrealistic.

Do we have to buy all new radios?
Often, no. LoudMouth is designed to work with existing business-band 2-way radios, which helps camps upgrade mass notification without rebuilding their entire communications stack.

Is it suitable for outdoor installation?
The speaker is rated for indoor/outdoor use, and configurations exist for more demanding outdoor deployments (your installer or dealer can guide the best setup for your property).
