Key Lessons Learned Commodities will be pushed forward before logistical structures are in place. The critical planning factor for ordering commodities is “distribution” capability, not people without power. Distribution planning must be a priority with local governments for the commodities mission to be successful. All levels of government must understand the distribution point concept.

Key Planning Factors: 

Ice – 1 truck load (40,000 lbs, 8 lbs/per) serves 5000 people Water – 1 truck load (18,000 liters, 3+liters/per) serves 5000 people MREs – 1 truck load (21,744 ea., 2 ea/per) serves 10,000 people Tarps – 1 truck load (4,400 ea.) serves 4000 families with roof damage 1 car represents 1 family or 3 people Each car is provided the following: 2 or 3 bags if ice 1 case of water (9-12 liters) 6 MREs 1 tarp, if they state they have roof damage Key Planning Factors

Key Planning Factors, Cont’d A distribution point (DP) with one supply lane can serve 1,660 cars or 5000 people in one day, (Type III Distribution Point). A Type II DP has two lanes A Type I DP has four lanes 1 Truck Load Ice 1 Truck Load Water ½ Truck Load of MREs Serves 5000 People = One Type III DP 1 Truck Load of Tarps IF 50 TRUCK LOADS OF ICE AND WATER ARE ORDERED PER DAY HOW MANY TYPE III DP’S ARE NEEDED?
