Enable individuals, households, and communities to rebuild and restore their way of life

Goals•Support individuals, households, and communities in returning to self-sufficiency

•Affirm and fulfill fundamental disaster housing responsibilities and roles •Increase our collective understanding and ability to meet the complex needs of disaster survivors and affected communities

•Build capabilities to provide a broad range of flexible housing options

•Better integrate disaster housing assistance with related community support services and long-term recovery efforts

A New Direction: Temporary Housing Strategy

Fuel Supply

• Industry Practice is “Just in Time” delivery• Since 2004, the Industry has committed to

increasing inventories during hurricane season– No specific quantity given– Anti-Trust laws & regulations limit inventory data

coordination• Motivations to meet this commitment:

– Terminals need sufficient fuel to meet evacuation demand and still maintain structural hurricane minimums due to storm surge or high winds

Fuel Supply

• Port Everglades• Port of Tampa• Port of Jacksonville• Barge supplies the Panhandle• Limiting factors

– Power generation at the Ports (Corrected)– Power generation at the gas stations– Fuel trucks

Fuel Supply

• Motivations cont’d– Shipping disruptions from large storms are not

uncommon; larger inventories add supply/demand flexibility

– Meet demands in the event of an extended port closure due to hurricane damage (i.e., contractual obligations)

– A terminal without fuel is at a distinct competitive disadvantage

Fuel Supply

• Industry committed to meeting emergency fuel priorities:– Emergency Responders– Healthcare Facilities– Evacuation/Re-entry Routes & Corridors– Other critical facilities as accessible

• Recommendation– Encourage your agency’s procurement staff to have

“Firm” fuel contracts; fuel suppliers are contractually obligated to provide fuel to entities with firm contract
