FEMA has trailers. Remember when they used them and right wingers used this as a conspiracy theory about the govt. Watch they use these trailers.
FEMA camps conspiracy theory-The FEMA camps conspiracy theory holds that the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is planning to imprison US citizens in concentration camps.[1][2][3] This is typically described as following the imposition of martial law in the United States after a major disaster or crisis. In some versions of the theory, only suspected dissidents will be imprisoned. In more extreme versions, large numbers of US citizens will be imprisoned for the purposes of extermination as a New World Order is established.
Fears of FEMA declined in the early 2000s as foreign terrorists were perceived as the major threat. However, the late-2000s recession and the 2008 election of Barack Obama has renewed opposition to the federal government. In this context there has been a resurgence in the militia movement and, with it, the FEMA camps conspiracy theory.[22] This time, however, the theory has been able to reach more mainstream right-wing circles while it had previously been confined to the far-right. FOX News personality Glenn Beck, for example, devoted airtime to it on three shows, saying that he could not debunk it (although he later stated that he did not believe the theory).[23] Emails from the magazine National Review have also promoted the theory.[24] Sitting Congresswoman Michele Bachmann alluded to the theory while in office,[25] as have other Republican Party politicians.[26]

As the coastal cities drown we can build the eco cities in the sky.
Rebuilding Houston area the way it was is a total waste.
