People displaced by the Santiam Fire in and around Mill City, Oregon are moving into manufactured homes provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Also known as FEMA trailers, these homes are available to people who are not able to find other temporary housing options and have been living in motels or doubled up with friends and family for the past five months. We hear from FEMA public information officer Paul Corah.
