Kind of interesting to me. Go to Mountain House's website and read the rfi sent to them from FEMA. They're studying food sources available for an earthquake in the New Madrid Fault area of the Midwest. Comments?

FEMA posted the following RFI (Request for Information) on 1-20-2011

This is old news. It's what was causing most of the MH shortages for so long.

Ancient history, get with the program

might be old news to some but new news to others so be nice !

Yes sir! Getting with the program..SIR!:

Emergency Essentials has Mountain House back in stock. Wish I could afford a little more of their stuff.

 

[WSierra]

It isn't ancient history if you just became aware of it.
Lighten up.
Geeze.
Thanks for the OP.

well an RFI is simply a request for information... so, no services would be rendered until the RFP (request for proposal) and subsequent award... i am guessing MH won and is now fulfilling their contract.

Good to see that FEMA is fulfilling its intended obligations, conspiracy theories aside...

Yeah, but if you're hungry, will they share it with you?

I wasn't aware of this and appreciate the post.

This points out that the national stocks of MREs are exhausted. Oddly Obama has sold off the Strategic Petroleum Reserve recently too. Miss-management thy name is Washington.

 

[Katka68]

Obama is selling off the entire country because he isnt even a real American.

search is your friend.

This is going to be one of those boomerang stories that we'll be hearing about 5 years from now lol.

 

[JimE2]

Interesting.

 

[dontbuypotteryfromme]

So your disaster management organisation is buying food.

 

[Stranger]

Six months ago when this was news, the only thing that caught my attention is that the order was for one billions dollars worth.

Is that still the number being talked about?

2nd that :thumb:

 

[Robphillips00]

One billion?
Can MH even fulfill an order that size? Where would FEMA store it? Better yet who would be in charge of distribution?
That whole scenario would be a disaster of epic proportions if they could even get that much food.
How many people qwould that many dollars worth of food feed anyway?
