FEMA announced they will retest homes FEMA mobile homes, but there’s a catch. You have to call them and let them know you want to be tested for dangerous levels of formaldehyde. The number to call is 1-866-274-4392.
"We want to know if it would be safe for us to stay here of if we have to get out," Lillian Gruhn said. "We’ll call, we want to retest."
Lillian and Paul Gruhn were happy to find out FEMA will retest their mobile home.
"I'd like to either find us someplace we could be safe and not have to worry all night, Ya and finally get better."
They’ve been getting sick with coughs and say respiratory problems keep them up at night.
But they are also very cautious that's because after we tested their home they called FEMA and the response was not what they were hoping to hear.
"They just said you can move out, that's what they said."
The Gruhn’s say they can't afford to put all their trust in FEMA again.
"At our age, and we lost everything we had. Now, could we get out and get another apartment?"
.
But they also can't afford to be sick anymore.
“The minute I lay down, I can hardly breathe, I've never had that before,” Lillian said.
Afraid to Trust FEMA
