My own throught behind the 90-day food supply was to assume worst case (no food) and the minimum amount of time for crops to grow. The limiting factor is just how many people could be supported by the Camp In A Box and above all else, just how many survivors/refugees a single team could support. And this is perhaps the greatest stumbling block to a CIAB. I think we all agree that the is simply no way for the Project to aid everyone, the sheer scale of supporting a refugee populations swamps FEMAs (but then just about anything swamps FEMA!!!) ability to aid the survivors.
So what is the cutoff? Does the Project plan on CIAB supporting 500; 3,000; 15,000? Should there even be a CIAB? The careful use of a CIAB should allow a PD to let the team answer this question...
