Twister victims to receive FEMA trailers

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Some of the thousands of trailers purchased by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in 2005 after hurricanes tore through the Gulf Coast may finally be put to use to help victims of last week's tornadoes, officials said Tuesday.

The 7,200 trailers stored at the Hope airport will "definitely" be used in Arkansas and Tennessee, where the twisters left many homeless, officials said.

All together, FEMA has about 75,000 trailers and mobile home in various locations across the country. Congress ordered FEMA to stop selling or donating the property last year after discovering problems with formaldehyde.

In November, FEMA spokesman James McIntyre said the agency determined its mobile homes were safe to use but was still testing its travel trailers stored at Hope.

Question is - will they test the trailers before they are put to use? I wouldn't put much faith in FEMA's "safe" determination.

The good news is the tornadoes are gone and now those folks only have minor worries.

Like respiratory diseases and cancers.

....my parents bought a 5th wheel and it always reeked of chemicals...even the food kept in it would absorb the odor...I often wonder if that's what triggered my Dad's leukemia. x(

Bushco has turned our "we've got you covered" organizations into gigantic, over-paid "we'll get you comin' and goin'" organizations.

Was this a sweetheart deal between BushCo pals to land the killer conveyances on the government? Who okayed this purchase?
