Even on the Panhandle where most regulations are optional, minimal trailer regulations require a slab and metal tie-down straps. It’s not a big deal and can be done quickly, but no provisions were made and there’s a concrete shortage.

This Seems to be the *BEST* recommendation maxim for this entire Administration!

Bwahahahahhaha!

Or has everyone forgotten about *restoring integrity* in Government from these Compassionate Conservatives? Apparently competency is never a requirement for these folks.

The News Hour had Griffen Witte (WaPo) on – disucssing his article on this story. But quite frankly he even seems to rather downplay how mismanaged these things really were – like the Trailer’s purchased as temporary housing and never used…partly because regulations prohibited (and still prohibit) these foundationless stuctures from being used in flood plains. The very purchase of them violated their own regs for use. Gross Stupidity!

And now many of these trailers still sit deteriorating on lots – unused, and unreturnable! Blech!

Oh, the law suits about privacy violations don’t count.

That’s a pretty bold statement. It’s early days yet.

Seems like I heard or read somewhere that FEMA wants to identify ahead of time all those who might be affected by a natural disaster.

That would be, ummmm….everyone on the planet?!
