NIBS Testifies to Congress on FEMA Temporary Housing

摘要

More work needs to be done to develop standards and provisions for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) temporary housing. That was a key point the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) made during its testimony in early July to the House Committee on Homeland Security.rnGerald H. Jones, P.E., a member of the institute's Multihazard Mitigation Council (MMC) Board of Direction, addressed the committee as an expert witness and talked about the work the MMC performed to help the Joint Housing Solutions Group evaluate temporary housing.
