Wait, I don't get this, I'm confused? Are they going to be rounding people up or what....?

I dont know for sure, but the MREs that we used to get issued, were enough protien etc to last a man one day.
The meals which they are trying to procure, are probably similar boxes with a few sheets of toilet wad, some gum, a few hard candies,perhaps Chocolate energy bars, one main meal,(like lasagna or beans and wieners(whatever they decide for menu.....and maybe a few personal goodies.....
I would imagine thaat it would be expected that one issue would do a survivor for one whole day, three meals....
Not that there would be three whole meals in it.
It makes sense to me that they would expect people to tighten their belts, and eat a little less.
140,000,000 meals would then be good for three times longer or three times more people.
If the rations are army style then it would be economical to rotate the meals into the field rations of troops before they expire, and while they are reasonably fresh(though ive ate some pretty old dated rations.)
Further since the rations would be service type, i imagine that halliburton would get the major portion of the contract,or one of its subsidiaries,as they already supply these things to the army.

it makes little sense to stock up rations which will not be used, or expire before use so the timing of the expirey may be simply because they will rotate the stock in and out as it becomes short of shelf life.
The recent activity at yellowstone, and pacific ocean vulcanism, and earthquakes,as well as accellerated small quakes elsewhere in the last few months,certainly may have built up a catalogue of events which the scientists can find usefull in building a pattern, and predicting future activity.
There may be some forewarning that we are not being privy to.
I sure intend to keep a sharp weather eye on whats going down in all the danger zones for a while.

According to John Moore, who was discussing this on his show today (on RBN), FEMA is also requesting underwater body bags.

Well if there are approximately 38 Million people in the probable affected areas of New Madras fault zone, then how does that break down if they are only preparing for 10 days worth of meals? Here are the States I looked up as of the 2009 census and then added a bit to each for unknowns:

Illinois 13,mil.
Mo. 6,mil.
Ten. 6 1/2, mil.
La. 4 1/2 mil.
Ark. 3,mil.

This is just strange and does not make sense. What do they know that they are not telling us? And why the Navy and the water body bags? Would this be because the entire midwest will split open and bodies will be rushing through the back water coming up from the gulf and the great lakes descending on the entire farm belt? Also if the gulf water do flow upwards it is going to be one hell of a mess when they reach the water from the great lakes rushing down towards the gulf.

HEY WAIT!

I got to thinking - are we talking 7 million people or 7 thousand people? We often use the letter M for thousand (Roman numeral). Maybe that makes more sense? I know a major quake here will do a lot of damage, but 7 millon people without the means to feed themselves?

I think it's 7,000 - maybe. Can anyone else find any (credible) numbers on estimated homeless?
