FEMA Still Trying to Pass Out Toxic Trailers, Now in Arkansas

» by sinde in: FEMA

Everyone knows the toxic FEMA trailers have been the subject of much discussion.  Following the Super Tuesday tornadoes that swept through Tennessee, FEMA once again stepped up to the plate and offered to send some of the toxin tainted trailers to Tennessee.

But, aware of the formaldehyde situation, Tennessee’s Emergency Management Agency placed a limit on the toxic levels within the trailers.  In doing so, Tennessee has only accepted 16 of the trailers for use by the February tornado victims. 

Recent testing shows that on average, 3 of 32 trailers are extremely toxic, enough so to be considered dangerous.  Others have elevated levels, but not nearly so dangerous.  Those, over 7500, still sit on a runway in Hope, Arkansas.   Arkansas is still deciding whether to accept any of them for use among the Arkansas victims.

Today, we were reminded of FEMA’s lack of care and concern for those who were to be housed in the formaldehyde tainted temporary housing, as members of the CDC, the whistle blowers on the FEMA negligence, testified before Congress.
