I filled out my FEMA application on September 2nd 2005. I know for a fact that was before anybody in my neighborhood, because they all told me so. Everybody in my neighborhood has trailers and I am still waiting. First it was the problem that FEMA had me in the category of waiting for a commercial site for three months. I finally found out that an inspection was done September 10 without me being at the house. I know you are wondering how was an now it is inspection done with the city still flooded, that is the same question i am wondering. After I finally got that rectified i waited another month for another inspection. Now it is the end of January and my land is being inspected. The inspector has the wrong coordinates for my clean-out drain and can’t find it. I asked if he could use the drain underneath my house by my bathroom he tells me no. Now it is March and I haven’t heard anything about my trailer. Everybody in the neighborhood are settled in their trailers and I am still waiting. I am driving 45 minutes to work, when I live 5 minutes from my job. I have my son and girlfriend living 400+ miles away and I have only seen my son once since he was born in November. All I am asking is for a trailer so I can get my family back together. If anyone can help me, I beg for the help.
