The National Guard has several vehicles that can deliver food and water neighborhood by neighborhood. Citizen groups are also forming to assist with food and water distribution.
Burger King has an emergency food and water distribution group. They have been contacted. Wegmans is fully operational in New Jersey. Contacts have been made with New Jersey Emergency Services and with the New Jersey Food Council.
Efforts are now underway to establish channels for using crowd-sourcing, intelligent social networks, social network analysis, and media analysis on the New Jersey food and water assessments. Linkages are being made between DHS and the National Center for Food Protection and Defense to identify and resolve gaps in assessment processes.
