FEMA Camp Found? - Aidan Mitchelmore

This is a print screen of a site easily accessed on google maps. It shows one of one of the more commonly known FEMA trailer sites. The trailer park could not be found, thus it is assumed it was dissembled, and the inhabitants evicted.

The site can be located by entering the address "Baton Rouge, LA 70801" into google maps.

The left hand side of this photo shows the EXXON Chemical Refinery plant. At the top of the photo are the borders of the Baton Rouge international airport. In the middle of the screen empty land is seen where the FEMA trailers are believed to be.

Below is a video used to locate this site, and it shows a reporter visiting one of the FEMA camps.


Below is a link to a youtube video where employees who worked on making the trailers spoke about the demands FEMA placed on them to produce. They claim that FEMA had poor/useless inspection procedures, and that the trailers produced were not of an acceptable quality.
