FEMA Camp Locations - Felix Cheong

These are some of the post-card type images that Don said would be useful to put up. They're all of FEMA camps and their different locations. We could probably learn some of the layout of the camps from the arial shots, but they seem to be very varied in terms of siting and layout. The location and some information are under the photos. There are more on the site that I found, i just chose a few to post, you can go there for more info.
