Management Agency says the agency will continue to use mobile homes
for residents displaced by disasters but will test all housing for
harmful levels of formaldehyde beforehand.
FEMA Administrator R. David Paulison says the agency would no
longer use travel trailers that were deployed following Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita that have been plagued with high levels of
formaldehyde.
His remarks come as FEMA and other agencies are trying to
prepare for another hurricane season. Some expect this hurricane
season will feature powerful storms that could leave thousands
homeless.
According to test results obtained yesterday, some mobile homes
being offered to victims of tornadoes in Arkansas and Tennessee
also have higher formaldehyde levels than found in the average
home.
