Points of Distribution Are:
Established following an event when the commercial infrastructure and resources are no longer available to support the population.
Closed accordingly as the commercial infrastructure is re-established and resources are available to support the population.

Pre-Planning Model
Commodities and supplies are most often delivered in over-the-road tractor trailer loads.
Large open areas are required to accommodate the vehicles with their loads.
Distribution points must be areas that are paved, concrete, or gravel hard-stand that can withstand loads that are at load limits of national roadways.
In addition to the area needed for the trucks, planning must include areas for unloading, dumpsters, proper traffic flow, stockpiles, and ingress and egress for the distribution to the public.

IS-26 Guide toPoints of Distribution
(PODs)
Commodities will be pushed forward before logistical
structures are in place.
The critical planning factor for ordering commodities
is “distribution” capability, not people without power.
Distribution planning must be a priority with local
governments for the commodities mission to be successful.
All levels of government must understand the POD concept.
