Chalmette FEMA Trailers
 
 
 
Some St. Bernard Parish residents still living in Acadiana are worried they
won't be able to move home anytime soon. 

One resident of Meraux tells TV 10 that 100 or so trailers have been sitting
vacant in her former trailer park for months. 

And now, she's hearing talk of FEMA moving outside residents into the
trailer home she was promised.

TV 10 contacted FEMA and according to FEMA representative Rachel Rodi, there
are 150 units available to previous mobile home park tenants, who will get
first priority based on their eligibility, but it will be at least another
week, maybe longer, before the units will be open to residents.
