FEMA Mobile Homes: How Mobile?
I thought that putting hurricane survivors into FEMA trailers to be a crazy idea. I mean when a hurricane hits mobile homes become just that “mobile”. If the winds of hurricanes blow down brick homes, break “hurricane proof” homes, then what will it do to FEMA trailers? Evidently there’s an alternative that cost less and is more sturdy and that’s prefab cottages. Read the article below to learn more about them. Of course the government is set to use the more expensive and less safe alternative, which makes me wonder “Who makes these decisions?”.

I have an idea how to make mobile homes, new and used hurricane and twister proof. My idea can also be used on single family houses, new and used. It is a low-cost idea (I believe being in the construction business) and I believe that it can easily become part of the building codes. I don't know what to do with my idea patent, design, prototype or whatever. Maybe I can get some ideas here on how to start with it. Thanks

I am interested in Mobile affordable homes for Hawaii. There is a big problem with high cost real estate and an abundance of homeless individuals and even worse, families. I understand that Hawaii doesn't allow Mobile homes but is there no answer to this with Hurrican proof Mobile homes or creating a safer environment to protect it from natures elements? Florida surely has more frequency of dealing with hurricanes but still permits Mobile home parks. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
