Arkansas News Bureau - FEMA trailers would be moved

Arkansas News Bureau - FEMA trailers would be moved: "One amendment to an emergency management reform bill would waive a Federal Emergency Management Agency regulation against locating manufactured homes in a flood plain. The rule has stalled distribution to victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Another amendment allows the homes to be donated to municipalities or nonprofit groups for needs unrelated to disasters. Nonprofits may now receive surplus homes from FEMA only for disaster victims.

The amendments were added to the bill by Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark. Rep. Mike Ross, D-Prescott, said he plans to introduce similar amendments in the House soon."
