FEMA: Temporary Housing...Temporary Meaning Two or Three Years or More...

An article in the New York Times has pointed out that many of those temporary travel trailer housing options that were implemented in the Katrina region are inadequate.

Some of those trailers were set up in flood planes. Some of them are standing next to partially reconstructed or deconstructed homes that in a hurricane or tornado would be a source of lots of flying debris.

SIDEBAR: Remember, ladies and gentlemen, when we were all in high school and in Science class they showed us those pics of those 2X4's shot out of an air cannon to simulate debris in a tornado...one of those would punch clean through one of these mid-size travel trailers.

Was no one paying attention to where they were putting these things when FEMA dropped them off...or is it just that FEMA can't lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way?
