FEMA National Cross Dock & Incident Support Base

Develop and employ a network of transportation and emergency cross dock/freight forwarding service operation centers, along with disaster staging area support services, throughout the Continental United States, (CONUS). As national emergency situations occur, the need for transportation and providing logistics services to the impacted areas are most critical. An efficient, reliable and highly flexible operation is needed to provide State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) governments the life sustaining supplies needed to deliver relief to survivors in the affected areas. Therefore, transportation service providers shall possess an adequately controlled infrastructure, including transportation resource fleet, personnel, and material handling equipment (MHE), as well as the information technology capability to efficiently transload, transport, manage, track, communicate and process various levels of supplies into the impacted area.
