Study Shows Higher Risk for Mobile Home Residents

According to a recent study, residents living in mobile and manufactured homes are 15 to 20 times more likely to die in a disaster than those in permanent homes, the National Weather Service said.

The agency recommends reviewing safety tips specific to mobile homes. A one-page guide is available to help residents improve their safety measures.
