A new national parks policy is drawing backlash after a deadly weekend

The National Park Service's new policy to withhold details about accidents and fatalities in national parks has sparked significant criticism. This move, detailed in a December memo, has left park staff unable to confirm specifics about injuries and deaths among the millions of visitors. The policy comes after a deadly weekend that highlighted the importance of accurate information in emergency situations. Critics argue that this policy could hinder public safety and transparency, especially in remote areas where timely information is crucial.
