A FEMA trailer park was “abruptly closed down” this weekend because of “ongoing problems with raw sewage that pours onto the grass” and consistent power outages. FEMA moved many of the families to other nearby mobile home parks. Some of the displaced residents “questioned the genuineness of the sudden concern for their health because the stink of sewage has been a nuisance for about a year.” “They know how to put me out,” Katrina victim Allsee Tobias said, “but they don’t know how to help me out.”
