Food System Support of the Relocation Strategy in California. Volume II. Prototype Plans and Revised Guidance.

Abstract

This study extends previous research into food distribution under crisis relocation conditions by investigating detailed distribution problems in a state, California, where relocation distances are unusually long, and heavy population concentrations in threatened areas are expected to stretch the capabilities of host areas to the limit. The report traces the existing patterns of food distribution in California; develops and analyzes alternative strategies for redirecting the existing food distribution system to support the relocated population; investigates the transportation requirements imposed by distribution changes; drafts prototype plans for redirecting the state food distribution network in an emergency; and develops appropriate guidelines for the use of Nuclear Civil Protection planners and local officials.
