Meanwhile, FEMA reports eligible survivors of the 71,000-acre disaster are awaiting the 50-plus FEMA one-and two-bedroom manufactured home units (MHU) now on the way, some equipped to accommodate those with disabilities and other additional needs. Larger homes will be coming as officials and recovery teams coordinate debris removal with feasible home sites in this hilly terrain.
Occupants of these temporary homes will be required to meet with FEMA personnel every 30 to 60 days to recertify that their primary residence is either unsafe, unlivable or uninhabitable. The sites must also be outside a flood plain and the lots must be large enough to accommodate the MHU.
FEMA may also provide rental assistance as well as funds to repair damaged homes. ##
