[StBernard] FEMA trailers/parks

[Westley Annis]

Jana,
 
I will pass it on for you but that park is weeks away from being ready maybe
more.  If you need immediate placement we can work on getting you placed on
the ship for now.  Let me know as space is limited and we are trying to only
use it for emergency placement at this point.

Craig,

Maybe you can help me.  I have been to the FEMA tent no less that eight
times since September to see about getting a trailer on my property.  About
a month ago a contractor did call me to come out and measure for a trailer,
but once he arrive I had questions he could not answer, so he took me to the
contractor's office where the trailers are distributed and it was there that
I was told that since I live in a condominium on Jean Lafitte Parkway, they
would not allow a trailer to be placed on my property because there would
not be enough room for emergency vehicles to gain access.  I was told to go
back to the FEMA office and let them know what was going on.  I did that,
but FEMA could not tell me whether or not I was relegated to the end of the
list or if my name would remain at the top of the list for a placement in a
trailer city.  I was very, very upset with FEMA and insisted on talking to
the person in charge of the trailers at FEMA and he (I believe his name was
Troy) sai
 d that he would call me, but he never did.  I noticed that they are
clearing land on Judge Perez across from the goverment complex.  I would
like to have a trailer in that park because it is close to my home and is in
an area where I feel safe.  Since I am a single woman, safety is very
important to me.  Is there anyway you can help me or direct me to someone
who will sit down with me and discuss the situation?  I think I have been
overly patient, but I have reached the end of my rope and I simply cannot
take more time off from work to go to FEMA and sit around for two hours just
to have them tell me nothing more than that I am in the system and I just
have to wait for someone to call me.  Any assistance or information you can
provide would greatly apprecited.  Thanks.
