Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Office of Civil Defense is charged with the responsibility of developing an overall preparedness program designed to cope with a civil defense emergency. Of particular concern is the number of days that the population can be fed from existing food inventories in the event of an emergency, and the geographical distribution of this supply within the United States. In this connection, the Office of Civil Defense requested the Department of Agriculture to provide technical assistance and guidance in assessing the supply and geographical distribution of food and nonconcentrated fluids within warehouses at the wholesale level of distribution. This report examines the supply of food and nonconcentrated beverages available in warehouses at the wholesale level of distribution. Stocks of food are shown by type of storability and by food group for civil defense regions and for establishments by kind of business. The per capita days' supply is shown also for Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
