Nancy Menne hugs her dog Daffney inside her government-issued trailer in New Orleans, Louisiana May 20, 2009. Menne has been living in the trailer since August 2005, when Hurricane Katrina swamped her home in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans in 9 feet (3 metres) of water. Come May 30, the deadline for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to repossess the trailers, Menne may be sleeping in her truck. REUTERS/Lee Celano (UNITED STATES DISASTER POLITICS)
