		<description>There are people out their like my self who are displaced for one reason or the other who would do any thing to have a roof over their heads I for one would love to buy a used fema trailer, and I hope this message gets out to all of you who have given fema a bad name, at least you had a home, and you didnt have to pay for it.
Shame on you for biting the hand that helped you.

		<description>These type of trailers are toxic - there were several reports published in the '70s about this - the government should have known.  Anything with particle board, new plastic, ceiling tiles, many fabrics, etc., will put out toxic substances into the air we breathe. Humidity and heat exacerbate the outgassing process - these people were undoubtedly poisoned - because of the way our government works.

I just saw a really cool video diary - about politics across the country in 2008 and the upcoming elections.  Check out www.redstateroadtrip.com - I think episode 15 is supposed to be about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Good luck to everyone.</description>

If your poor husband took another job he would have had to be away for 6 months. he chooses to..... prob to get away from you. Let me know how the STD test results turn out...... While your prob overweight A$s sat at home spending the loot.....

Thousands volunteered to help, your husband was paid top dollar+ benefits+overtime....Everyone knows thats the only reason to work for FEMA.$$$$$$$$ yeah, I feel real sorry for yall... omg

If you ever had to live in a prefab POS contracted out to the lowest bidder/ made with the cheapest materials for a year or 2....  with the fresh smell of formaldehyde...... Much of the time with little or no services, (garbage collection etc.) and lets see how it came back from your lot.  Yeah, not everyone is suzy spotless, but you try living in a 0 bedroom travel trailer with 4 other family members for 2 years.... Yeah, i bet it will be real fresh...

Sounds like your the one sitting around watching to much TV. Cause your in never, never land...

to Arkansas last week, and drove right by them.  What a shame.</description>

		<description>My husband works for FEMA.  It seems to me that everyone wants to bash FEMA about housing trailers.  If there was no place to house the trailers and campers and they were all sold what will happen when another disaster hits.  It will be katrina all over again.  Yes FEMA did drop the ball after Katrina but they have learned from their mistakes.  Lets talk about the people who have lived in the trailers.  They are coming back destroyed.  It seems to me like people would take care of something that they have to live in so hopefully it can be used again.  People need to stop compaining about FEMA and do something.  People are sitting at home watching the tv instead of getting out and to see what they can do to help.  My husband after katrina worked 7 days a week with sometimes a couple hours of sleep.  He was gone from home for over six months.  Now a year and a half later he still works 7 days a week.  These people are doing what they can to help and all you are doing is sitting on the computer complaining.  But of course everyone wants to buy a trailer.  www.gsaauctions.gov</description>

		<description>As I read this blog I saw the problem..Armchair Quarterbacks, Everybody Bashes the government for not doing enough and as they provide temp housing the "victims" want more.  They first off live under the flood plain...how dumb, then when it flooded, as they were told it would, they wanted $$$ and someone to save them.  I am a CERT team President and teach Disaster prep. I have responded to many disasters and am in dis-belief of the Ignorance and low life games from the Governer on down to the Cops who looted the stores to the folks demanding more from everyone else while doing nothing for themselves. 
FEMA, like anything the Gov. tries to do is inefficient and filled with corruption. Thats why its up to the individual and the local Govt. to fix the problem. Your tax dollars represented you. If you did not go there and help then shut up. Get trained and the next time be prepared. I cannot believe that they are  rebuilding New Oreoleans below sea level again...I will not rescue them again.  If you think this is bad, It should only be a few more months before the lawsuits from the "Rescuers" come rolling in like at the twin Towers. Everyone thinks the Trailers are a terrible waste until they think they want one, then the story changes.....Shame on you all..</description>

Dying for a Home: Toxic Trailers Are Making Katrina Refugees Ill
http://www.truthout.org/issues_06/021507HA.shtml

Along the Gulf Coast, in the towns and fishing villages from New Orleans to Mobile, survivors of Hurricane Katrina are suffering from a constellation of similar health problems. They wake up wheezing, coughing and gasping for breath. Their eyes burn; their heads ache; they feel tired, lethargic. Nosebleeds are common, as are sinus infections and asthma attacks. Children and seniors are most severely afflicted, but no one is immune. There's one other similarity: The people suffering from these illnesses live in trailers supplied by the Federal Emergency Management Administration.

And if you still want one, the ABC affiliate, KATV Channel 7 in Little Rock (KATV.com) has a link for those who are interested in purchasing a FEMA Trailer from Hope, Arkansas at the following website:

		<description>Fema assured the manufacturers of these homes that they would not flood the market with them.  I have an offer to purchase 1,500 of these homes and ship them out of the country.  Fema gets back a portion of their money and 1,500 families have homes.

I have offered pro bono work but the laws make it nearly impossible to install homes in our area.  A good talk but no one wants them in their back yard.  

What a shame.

Wish someone could let me know who to contact.

Thank you</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fema assured the manufacturers of these homes that they would not flood the market with them.  I have an offer to purchase 1,500 of these homes and ship them out of the country.  Fema gets back a portion of their money and 1,500 families have homes.</p>
<p>I have offered pro bono work but the laws make it nearly impossible to install homes in our area.  A good talk but no one wants them in their back yard.  </p>
<p>What a shame.</p>

		<description>I was driving south on 59 in Ms., after Meridian, and on the west side of the road, looked to be 1000^ of new trailers. (11-5-06 )
They are sitting there and doing no one good.
Are they for sale?

		<description>Hey Anna
 Thank you for the good words!. 
 I absolutly hate the fact that these insurance companies are not paying people for the homes with water damage saying they were not covered for flood damage.....My bigass B.S flag went up over that one.  In my opinion its hurricane damage not flood damge....those houses didn't flood because of heavy rain or over flowing rivers they recieved water damage from a hurricane pushing in water from teh gulf......if there was no hurricane there would be no water damage....and most of the places that were no longer stand and was determined it was because of flood waters ....it was actually high winds that caused that...well a combo of the two but one guy had a video of his nieghbors house blowing apart and teh insurance company called it flood damage....B.S.  
   As for people still living in tent cities....i agree they shouldn't be there. but we also have to account for the large number of homeless that were normally hiding out in abandoned buildings that are not there anymore. So they gather in the parks and use tarps from other peoples roofs to build a tent..
   I like the idea of selling off some of those mobile homes and assigning money to a project like rebuilding entire nieghbor hoods... it doesn't need to be anything fancy basic stuff is all that needed onlty using energy efficiant windows and appliances. 
  Giving the money to these people to do it just does not work in a staggering large number of people....for example one guy was given 90,000 bucks to rebuild his house ..baught two new boats and a new truck...then demanded more money ...when his time expired on his trailer and nothing was done to his house...FEMA gave him notice his time has expiered and his trailer was getting picked up...the guy had a cow.  So giving people money directly doesn't work and as a result slowed down the process for those who are honest and need the money to live and rebuild. 
   Anna Kepp on helping where you can and when you can. 

  Now lets work on getting Reservist and guardsmans retiremnet checks when they retire instead of when they turn 60...yes uncle same will not pay a military reservist his retirment money until he or she turns 60...When I retire from this and i'm 40 something years old I should start getting checks that day not after I turn 60 ...thats B.S

		<description>RAM, Thank you for all you ahve done to assist with setting trailers up in LA, MI, AL, and anywhere else you have been. There are those of us out here that do appreciate it. As for FEMA, yes I do believe that they do the best they can under the current situation with the local governments...still it isn't good enough. Although housing from FEMA may seem to be Free, remember only those that had flood insurance received compensation..meaning, they actually paid for insurance year after year and so is is really free? I have gotten off my ass and helped in the areas damaged, this is why I am so upset with what is happening there. A year after a major catastrophic event, people should not be living in tent cities anywhere in the damaged areas..no matter what the reason...especially when two of our past presidents raised over $530 Million dollars to assist. I have been in real estate for over 15 years and know that alot of housing can be build with that kind of money. Many people in LA lost there homes, had insurance coverage and were denied money due to some part time adjuster deciding that the damage wasn't flood related...many of these people had home that were paid in full...no mortgage, fixed income, etc....when the insurance failed, so did the ability for these people to find new living arrangements...one of these people happened to be a good friend of mine and she worked her entire life to have the home she had...paid all her bills and was denied the money that was rightfully hers to start over...she now lives in TX with her grandson and his wife, their 1 year old baby boy (they also were denied flood damage, yet their home was filled with 9 feet of water)...see what we often hear about are all those that don't give a damb about the home they lived in, the FEMA trailer they have been awarded with or even the neighbors they lived next to...this is the picture the media and those that have more want to paint..reality is that alot of good hard working people lost everything they had and have to rebuild from nothing..and thanks to great people like you that take out time to give back to communities by volunteering or working to rebuild, it makes it a bit easier. I am mad as hell about the entire situation down in the South, and even more mad that this has been happening all over the country for many many years...Florida is still cleaning up after past hurricanes and the number of tornados in the midwest still show signs of destruction....who's really the one to be responsible? NOw get out there and set those trailers up...lol:) Have a great day!</description>

		<description>Okay, I have seen some of the mobile homes that are for sell after they have been used that are located in Florida.  Let me tell you about the filth I saw!  They are absolutely disgusting!  Walls torn up, floors stained and burned.  Cabinet doors torn off, refrigerators, microwaves and stoves stolen.  It is appalling to me the way these people have lived and torn these free homes up!  I live in a Fifth-wheel trailer a good portion of the year due to traveling for work and they last, they hold up, they are well-built.  These individuals who have lived in these FEMA trailers just do not care about what they have been given and it just wasn't enough for them.  It makes me mad that this is what happens to my tax dollars!  These people have no pride, they have no pride in the homes they lived in, as I see these homes after they are devestated by natural disasters.  These people who are getting these FEMA homes just don't appreciate what they have been given.  I'm glad these trailers are just sitting there not getting wasted!  They can be sold and maybe then the money can be given to help re-build.  I think that is what should happen.  The mobiles sold and the money used to re-build or restore the damaged homes.  Not given to the home-owners but, to somebody who oversees their homes being restored so that they are restored.  You should check out the website www.gsaauctions.gov and see how these homes have been taken care of - might give you a different perspective!</description>

		<description>Oh yea I almost forgot!!  These people setting these homes and travel trailers work 7 days a week sun up to sun down!!  only a few thousand people are working to get these homes out to millions that lost everything... It doesn't happen over night or in a year or two....relax a little and find something to do besides being an ARMCHAIR FEMA director!!!  and comming up with a ton of assumptions. Get more info before you start to complaining and try to get the whole picture in sight so you can hit a subject with all the facts in hand.  This is not a perfect operation and FEMA does need to revamp its organization in a major way I agree.</description>

		<description>Well I just stumbled across this site and damn are you people one sided as hell!!! I agree with alot of wasted money and such. I have been working in Louisiana  setting those travel trailers and a few mobile homes. For one, Hope is just a holding area for these trailers from there they get sent to where ever they are needed throughout the united states!!! I/ we set about 32 of these hope units back in april 06.
 those 15,000 trailers sitting there just didn't appear over night they have been baught over time and have been in reserve awaiting disasters like Ivan, Katrina, Rita, Charlie and so on not to mention floods eslewhere in the USA. Those trailers come and go ...thats what people don't see or admit to seeing!! 
  I have seen alot of wasted money and think FEMA needs to fire all those big contractors like FLOUR that are hired to oversee operations in different disasters. FLOUR oversees the louisiana area and swindles FEMA out of our money. One example after we set these travel trailers FLOUR has a guy go in behind us and reset them @ about 400.00 each and bills the FEMA for it...I talked to a guy who stopped at a trailer my buddy and I just finished setting and told us what he was up to...We argued that our trailer was set correct according to FLOUR's rules and regs. He said it didn't matter he was resetting it anyway!  
  Now for the damn state of Louisiana they should get rid of that damn govenenor and Nagin!!!  The state does everything it can to interfere with the set up of travel trailers parks and mobile home parks. We were confronted by the state propane commission the man told us if we screwed the lines to the bottles on the front of the travel trailers we would be fined 500.00 per bottle we hooked up... Gee if you own a travel trailer you can hook up your own bottles, thats legal!!! this was in Mansfield, La.  We have encountered all kinds of interuptions and set backs from the local government in La. If FEMA could pull out and be politically correct about it I think they would....you don't hear any complaining from the mississippi folks and that place is just as tore up. I have been there too...as a matter of fact you never hear anything from Alabama or Florida either.
  So stop bitching about those Hope trailers and totally blaming FEMA for everything and look at the big picture!!!!  Oh and if your one of them saying FEMA needs to get off their ass and go help these people!!!
 Get off your ass and go help these people!!! Go set these homes up!!!!! We have set thousands of travel trailers and its still not enough.
    I have seen a bunch of these trailers trashed by the occupants who don't give a damn about the help they get. To them its free and thats all that counts, something free from the tax payers so they trash them to the point some can't even be refurbashed and sent to a holding area for the next disaster! 

 Thanks for letting me vent!!</description>

		<description>Just like others, I just saw thousands of FEMA trailers off I59 between Baton Rouge and Mississippi, going east. I understand from others that over 7,500 people in the storm damaged areas are still waiting for these trailers to have a roof over their heads...if this is so, then why are these just sitting unused? I am not interested in buying them, only seeing the people that need them most get them. Afterall, isn't that what was suppose to happen? I also witnessed dozens of FEMA parks that were partially empty...I saddens me to hear Americans talk about New Orleans being "Back to Normal", when the truth is they are FAR FAR AWAY FROM BACK TO NORMAL! FEMA needs to get off their ass an help these people, stop wasting time and valuable resources. This is our Government hard at work for us...hmmmm, what a joke!</description>

		<description>I would like to know what is happening to the smaller trailers that were sent to Louisiana? I met hundreds of them on I-59 20 last of 05 and early 06 now I am meeting them going back North some of them in good shape and some of them that looked like they have been stripped. So what is going on? Is Fema selling these trailers and not telling the public? I would like to buy some if I could get information on what is going on.</description>

		<description>Hello, I am interested in any information about the new trailors that 
FEMA has in Arkansas...I wouldn't mind buying a three bedroom mobile
home, and if they are just sittng there un used, I sure could use and
would love to have my own home...Especially a brand new trailor....
I and my son lived on a fixed income because I am disabled, I do plan
on going to school this fall.  Aside from my many goals and dreams...
that most everyone has...My one goal, and maybe just a simple dream
would be, to be a home owner...Even being the owner of a mobile home would be splendid, as some say..."Theres no place like home!"
If possible could you please send me information about the purchase
of a three bedroom mobile home: One of the one's that FEMA has 
sitting vacant in Akansas..

My home address is:  ANNETTE VITARELLA
                                3941 Mayfair road APT#206
                                Uniontown, Ohio, 44685.
My home phone# is:  330-699-4779.

Thank you for your time, and have a blessed day!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>I will NEVER donate another Penny to any Organaization again.  After every disaster and after every Donation I give, Next comes the News Reports of the Organizations screw-ups.

After 30 years of donating to help People, and reading the horror stories about the Screw-ups and Politics and Regulations interfering with the needy getting ALL the donations and the Goods the donations have bought (or SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT)...you would have thought I would have learned way before now.</description>

		<description>I live in the town(Hope,AR) where the trailers are being held, its at the Hope municapal (sp) Airport, FEMA is paying Hempstead County 25,000 dollars a year to have them placed here. The total amount of trailers to date is 15,000. Last week they had a meeting on what to do with the trailers and so forth. Not sure what they came up with but thats the deal so far that Im aware of. They are concerned with Tornado season coming up and what not...go figure they decided to plant it right in Tornado Alley.....</description>

Apparently, commenter Jim Hall claims to have driven some of the FEMA trailers to Arkansas and Florida.
