That's a lot of food. Seems the Government has been doing a lot of prepping lately.

Noticed that it the specifications were also food Nazi PC; lo calorie, no trans fats, lo fat, lo sodium, vegetarian, etc. And at 2 meals/day.

The last thing disaster survivors need is diet food. What they need is well-rounded hi calorie, hi fat, trans fat, meals which also have a good slug of salt and sugar in it.

I guess the butt-heads are working overtime to kill the country.

Note that it’s healthy (low fat/low salt) and in environmentally friendly packaging. Do you think the survivors would be concerned with packaging/fat/salt?

Get a life DHS!

I have been watching the patterns of movement on this fault for awhile now. Does the Gov’t know something we don’t?

They’re also planning for 10 days... not a very long time, especially for some who are used to having their kids fed 2-3 meals a day etc.

Wow. Two of my consulting clients belong to the Zetas, a new-age group who are predicting a massive disaster in the New Madrid Fault Line. According to them, this quake will cause the Mississippi River to widen to 100 miles and cause utter devastation in a huge portion of the country. It’s kind of unsettling that DHS considers that same area as having a high enough probability of a quake to order these provisions.

The National Guard was training for the New Madrid fault last year. Maybe they are taking this warning seriously.

RFI = Request for Information

RFQ = Request for Quote (price)

When you see a RFQ go out then you know that some serious plans have been set in motion. When the "Quotes" (bids) come in then the decisions are made and the money get disbursed and starts moving to accounts for purchase.
This is just in the "talk-talk" stage now.

MORE PROOF that they intend to create a disaster, and that they know something!!! PT4

Under the video

Fema DHS requesting 14 MILLION emergency meals for the New Madrid Seismic Zone!! (Why would they order all of this, spend all of this money, if they’re only “practicing” during NLE NMSZ in May of this year?!)

It actually says fat is(less than 10% calories); you need 30% of your calories from fat to be healthy.

I noticed that, too. Here are the bureaucrats planning on the feeding of millions of people after a natural disaster and it's all Moochelle type food with big concerns about calories and fat content. No pizza, no beer and no Doritos. Blah!

So this is an RFI (Request For information...??)

The are looking for a supplier for what amounts to 14 Million servings of a 1200 calorie civilian MRI (Meal, Ready to Eat).

Do I read that correctly?

Probably not a bad idea for relieving a major civilian refugee camp, at least for some period of time. If you can drop supplies in to an established camp in case of a major disaster, so much the better, at least for those who have no other option besides that refugee camp.

This kind of knowledge is what drives the so-called “preppers” who have been building a base of self sufficiency for a while. Even a home garden is a good step toward providing some of your own food, and the knowledge that civilian MREs are what probably face you if you have no other choice but to evacuate you and your family ought to be enough to convince you to prepare to stand alone, at least for a reasonable period of time.

OBTW, one of the benchmark items I have watched for some time is the price of a 50 pound bag of long grain white rice, US grown in either Texas or Louisiana. Through last Fall the price of that 50 pound bag was stable at around $16.00. Last week that same bag is selling for over $20; a 25% price increase in just one year. Anyone who says there is no inflation is not well informed...plan accordingly.

If the New Madrid goes like it did last time, they’ll need more than just those MRE’s. Last time it toppled chimneys in Boston and rang church bells in Charolotte. Most, if not all of the natural gas and fuel pipelines running to the Northeast will be broken. Buildings and bridges all across the Midwest will be toppled.

Don’t know what the Zeta’s timeline is - but it WILL happen. Some day. (I’m in the Pacific NW - I rue the day when the massive 8 or 9 offshore one happens again).
