Three dozen flood victims in southwest Iowa have said they want to live temporarily in mobile homes provided by FEMA, but state officials suspect many more need to move into a FEMA trailer.

Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management director Joyce Flinn on Wednesday said FEMA has had difficulty negotiating leases with the owners of mobile home parks in southwest Iowa.

“Two units were installed in a commercial park in Glenwood and six other pads have been leased at that location, according to FLynn.  “The problem that FEMA is running into with a lot of these pads or these locations is the electric is not up to standard, so they’re going to have to redo the electric before they can put units in there and be sure that they’re going to provide the support to the citizens that they need.”
