Let me see if I have this straight: a group advises people that certain buildings possibly being used for disaster relief may cause harm to the people using them. And they get vilified for this? Is this known as hanging the messenger? Maybe we could also ship the disaster areas blankets that have previously been used to cover small pox victims?
If I were in need of shelter I might be forced to use a trailer that has issues with high formaldehyde, but it would be nice to know the danger exists. You know, kind of a heads up thing.

FEMA obviously is lacking in finding a solution since they are repeating the problem. So, maybe an outside organization could provide some options.
