climate change adaption: at home in RVs

In the continuing aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, individuals are adapting in unexpected ways:

"For many coastal residents, the RVs [recreational vehicles] represent a temporary fix to their housing
problems while they work on rebuilding. For others the vehicles offer a
permanent solution to the threat of hurricanes: Rather than invest in another
house that could be washed away, residents can simply drive their homes to
higher ground when needed."

Concerns raised include potential gridlock in the face of storm evacutions, greater vulnerability in strong wind storms, and declines in an area's image and property values.
