Critical Emergency Supplies (SHSP and UASI)

In order to further DHS/FEMA’ mission, critical emergency supplies, such as shelf stable products, water, and basic medical supplies are an allowable expense under SHSP and UASI. Prior to the allocation of grant funds for stockpiling purposes, each state must have DHS/FEMA’s approval of a five-year viable inventory management plan which should include a distribution strategy and related sustainment costs if planned grant expenditure is over $100,000.

If grant expenditures exceed the minimum threshold, the five-year inventory management plan will be developed by the recipient and monitored by FEMA GPD with the assistance of the FEMA Logistics Management Directorate (LMD). FEMA GPD will coordinate with LMD and the respective FEMA Region to provide program oversight and technical assistance as it relates to the purchase of critical emergency supplies under UASI. FEMA GPD and LMD will establish guidelines and requirements for the purchase of these supplies under UASI and monitor development and status of the state’s inventory management plan.

States (through their Emergency Management Office) are strongly encouraged to consult with their respective FEMA Regional Logistics Chief regarding disaster logistics- related issues. States are further encouraged to share their DHS/FEMA approved plan with local jurisdictions and Tribes.
