Resources for Food Retailers Preparing for and Responding to Hurricane Irma
By: Hannah Walker, Senior Director, Technology and Nutrition Policy, Food Marketing Institute
FMI wants to be a resource for our members that operate in Puerto Rico, Florida and other Southeastern states as they prepare for and later respond to Hurricane Irma. Below is a link to the FNS disaster page, this page includes an interactive map that will share state specific storm response information from the agency including SNAP waivers and other USDA nutrition program alerts. We will continue to update this page and provide additional links as we receive them from state and federal government agencies and others responding to the storm. Please do not hesitate to reach out directly to FMI if we can be of further assistance during this time.
