FEMA announced today it reversed a policy preventing Hurricane Katrina victims in government trailer parks from being interviewed by the media unless an agent was present.
"We're responding to your criticism," James Stark, director of FEMA's Louisiana Transitional Recovery Office told editors and staff members of the Baton Rouge Advocate, which broke the story.
The new policy "will allow media full access to the group site trailer parks" without representatives of FEMA accompanying them, Stark said.
Many victims of Hurricane Katrina still reside in FEMA trailer parks like this one
"In no way will FEMA security nor FEMA public affairs stand in the way of media entering the trailer parks with valid credentials and interviewing whomever they like," he added.
A Louisiana congressman critical of the restrictive policy was cautiously optimistic about the announced change, the Baton Rouge paper reported.
