This past June, wifey and I had been at Crater of Diamonds State Park and the following morning drove the backroads through Hope to pick up the Interstate.

I still regret not getting out the vid equipment, because outside of Hope, we drove by a full two mile stretch of FEMA trailers which were packed as far back as the eye could see. Fabbergastic! We figured it was some payback for the area engineered by the Clintons.

Not to mention other closed door government kick backs they’re likely getting.

High Levels of Formaldehyde in FEMA Trailers Force Agency to Seek Alternatives

Submitted by MedHeadlines on 15 February, 2008 –

High levels of formaldehyde found in FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) trailers have forced the agency to intensify its efforts to find alternative shelter for Gulf coast hurricane victims.

Currently 38,000 families are still living in the trailers and mobile homes.

From the time the families began occupying the trailers, there were complaints about respiratory and other health problems associated with formaldehyde exposure. More than 7,000 families have asked to leave the trailers because of concerns of formaldehyde.

Children, the elderly and people with respiratory problems are the most vulnerable to problems from formaldehyde exposure, said Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, director of the disease control centers. About a third of the 519 trailers and mobile homes tested by her agency had levels of formaldehyde that could be expected to cause symptoms in such people, Dr. Gerberding said.

With the hurricane season fast approaching, FEMA has vowed not to use these trailers again in the future but has not specified what alternative housing they will have to offer. The agency also has not yet decided whether to force out people who have the trailers parked on their own property. Nor does the agency have a program to help families that have incurred medical bills because of formaldehyde exposure,

The reason for the high levels of formaldehyde is still being investigated by the Centers for Disease Control.

Not even close! We hadn't done research on the place, so we showed up with gloves, trowels and a bucket....and wifey was in her white capris with white tennies.......and it'd rained the night before; looked about like this:

We gave it an hour and spent the rest of the afternoon in Murfreesboro.

I thought these trailers had been condemned.

Fun factoid:

This movie was filmed, in part, in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Pretty much ground zero for Katrina's worst damage.

Expect it.

I wouldn’t take a government related contract job for all the tea in China. Just way too many strings attached.

“we drove by a full two mile stretch of FEMA trailers which were packed as far back as the eye could see”

We saw something similar in southern Mississipi last year.
