Officials Frustrated with Unused FEMA Trailers in Florida

FEMA trailers sitting near the Punta Gorda Airport are raising concerns, according to a report by WINK, a CBS television affiliate based in Fort Myers covering Southwest Florida.

The Charlotte County Airport Authority is getting hit with code violations, saying the trailers need to go.

FEMA now has?less than ten days left to remove these trailers, or else this case could wind up before a special magistrate.

Since Hurricane Ian, dozens of FEMA trailers have sat on land that FEMA leases from the airport.

“Because we own 2,000 acres with highway access, we are often asked by agency partners to provide land for staging vehicles before and after storms,” said Kaley Miller, director of marketing and communications at the airport.

Shaun Cullinan, a Charlotte County Planning and Zoning official, added, “We had worked with the state and federal agencies in order to get them there for disbursement to residents impacted by it.”

But after Idalia, Cullinan said things changed.

“It more became then they were starting to distribute it out to other places throughout the state, and it wasn’t necessarily for Charlotte County citizens,” he explained.

Project Leaders Applaud Recent RVIA Park Cleanup Event

Project leaders for the RV Industry Association (RVIA) Emerging Leaders Coalition’s recent All-Industry Volunteer Day say they are overwhelming pleased with how the recent, third-annual event went.

More than 300 volunteers from 40 companies participated in the event, which took place May 8 at the Chain O’Lakes State Park in Albion, Ind. Volunteers spent the day cleaning up brush, working on cabin flooring, staining fences and much more.

“The entire industry showing up and volunteering their time and money to make improvements to state parks and camping sites is a humbling experience,” said Brent Clark, the project lead for the Dometic team. “To see competitors put aside their competitiveness and work side by side was amazing.”

Clark noted that Dometic’s entire OEM sales team—along with new President Todd Seyfert and Vice President of Aftermarket Sales Michael McCaslin—participated in the event. He said the Dometic team spent much of the day building a storage coral for pallets of firewood on the park site.

Trey Miller, the project leader for Jayco’s team, echoed Clark’s assessment of how positive it was to see representatives of so many different RV companies coming together to work on a common goal.
