[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 161471, member: 1963"] Just like radon in older housing stocks in certain parts of the country; formaldyhyde in travel trailers and mobile homes has been a known issue for decades. In fact, I live in an '87 mobile home and still have to keep a window open in winter because it "gasses off" when sealed up. I think you have to look at whether the trailers were a better alternative than the tents used for similar housing in much of the rest of the world. FEMA was ill prepared for any national disaster, let alone ones on the scale of hurricanes Rita and Katrina. The problem with the Katrina refugees boils down to FEMA and the Army Corps of Engineers (and our president) not funding the repair of the Lake Ponchartrain levees--that and the destruction of the barrier islands that once protected the Mississippee (sp?) coasts from hurricanes and tropical storms.
