FEMA Trailers are Much More Toxic than Feds Claimed

[JPZenger]

It was bad enough that so many Louisiana residents were left to drown. Then, they were warehoused in FEMA travel trailers for 2 years which, by the way, are full of toxic gases.

Here's an update on the story. New private testing (including by the Sierra Club) shows that the toxic gases are much worse than previously admitted by FEMA. There are still 52,000 people living in these trailers.

The Feds promised to do testing, but hadn't gotten around to it.

You may remember when this story first broke about a year ago. At that time, it was uncovered that FEMA lawyers ordered the agency to stop testing for toxic gases because it would increase their liability. If they could claim they didn't know about the problem, they would not have been liable, they said.

The following article describes how FEMA has told their employees not to enter the trailers they have stored because they are too toxic. But for the people living in them everyday, THERE IS NO REASON TO WORRY.

2. just think there is many of them out there that fema didn't buy that are being used every day

I read once where a study showed that people who lived primarily for several years, sorry don't remember the exact years but they were more likely to have cancer. at the time of the study the worry IIRC was all the formaldehyde used in the making of the trailers and the out gassing of that formaldehyde
