BLOCKING AND BRACING FEMA MHU’S

BACKGROUND

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has a staging yard with Mobile Housing Units that were ordered to support the survivors of the California wildfires in 2017. The units are currently staged without potential of being moved or transported until the closeout of the disaster. The units are in need of being leveled, blocked and braced due to FEMA unable to procure the appropriate jack stands due to backorders.
