Granted the Great Plains of Kansas are significantly less populated than the Gulf Coast, but FEMA seems to be doing a better job in the recovery effort in Greensburg, Kansas--which was of course destroyed by a tornado last month.
From the Wichita Eagle:
FEMA homes, shelters
The mobile homes are going to the south edge of town, where contractors are working to install about 300 units that will become the first major re-settlement in town.
Greg Hughes, a FEMA spokesman, said the first residents will move into the mobile homes soon. Rain has delayed work at the site.
Each mobile home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. They come furnished.
Families can live there rent-free for up to 18 months, but will pay for utilities.
Twenty-two prefabricated underground storm shelters are being scattered around the 75-acre site.
