Guidelines and Data to Support Plans for Reallocating Food during Crisis Relocation. Regional Appendix. FEMA Region VIII,
Abstract
Nearly 90% of the food consumed in FEMA Region VIII is warehoused within the region. The table below summarizes the source and magnitude of all shipments from warehouses to supermarkets within the region. Four of the six states in FEMA Region VIII (Montana, North Dakota, Colorado and Utah) are largely self-sufficient, warehousing between 79% to 99% of their food supplies within their own borders. The fifth state, South Dakota, which warehouses only 23% of its own food stocks, is heavily dependent on out-of-region warehouses for food shipments. Over half of South Dakota's food stocks come from Minnesota and Wisconsin in Region V, and Nebraska and Iowa in Region VII, highlighting a need for interregional coordination. The sixth state, Wyoming, has no major food warehouses, and is therefore totally dependent on out-of-state warehouses for its food supplies. Over 86% of Wyoming's food stocks come from neighboring states within Region VIII (Colorado, Montana and Utah) so that interstate coordination will be essential under crisis relocation conditions.
