Guidelines and Data to Support Plans for Reallocating Food during Crisis Relocation. Regional Appendix. FEMA Region III,
Abstract
Approximately 87% of the food consumed in FEMA Region III is warehoused within the region. Three states, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, are largely self-sufficient, warehousing between 69% to 81% of their food supplies within their own borders. The other two states, West Virginia and Delaware, and the District of Columbia, are heavily dependent on out-of-state warehouses for food shipments. While only 37% of West Virginia's food supplies are warehoused within its state boundaries, none of the District of Columbia's and Delaware's food stocks come from within their own borders. Most of the food stocks going into West Virginia, the District of Columbia and Delaware are from neighboring states within the same region (Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland) so that interstate coordination will be required under crisis relocation conditions.
