emotional disorders similar to PTSD

and a variety of complicating physical issues. "

" We are seeing an increased number of children with asthma from living in

FEMA trailers that have mold and are cold in the winter and blazing hot in the

these will be the days that I die.

The effects of Katrina and the aftermath will be with these people for a
