Sources of generators: FEMA
  • If the outage causing event results in a Presidential Disaster Declaration, FEMA can provide generators to the event as requested by the State. FEMA maintains a total of 16 generator “power packs” at their four Continental United States (CONUS) Distribution Centers (DCs):
    • Atlanta, GA
    • Frederick, MD
    • Fort Worth, TX
    • Oakland, CA
  • Each DC maintains four of these power packs. The normal complement of each power pack is 30 generators.
  • The power packs also contain material and supplies (called BOM or Basic Order of Materials) needed to install the generators.
