AN EXAMPLE:
HOW ULE WORKS
• Prior to a storm, commodities such as shelf-stable meals (MREs)
and bottled water are transferred from State warehouses to a
Regional Staging Area (RSA) near the expected impact area.
• After the storm, affected Parishes may request that PODs
be opened in their Parish to distribute food, water and ice to
areas without electrical power.
• Commodities are then transferred from the RSA to PODs
where the Parish distributes them to its citizens.
• The RSA inventory is replenished by FEMA or State purchases
and the commodity distribution cycle continues until the PODs
are closed by the Parish.
