| FROM:           | Deborah Ingram /s/       Assistant Administrator      Recovery Directorate      |
| SUBJECT:        | FEMA Manufactured Housing Unit Baseline Inventory                                 |

The purpose of this memorandum is to re-confirm the manufactured housing baseline inventory   established by the FEMA Temporary Housing Baseline Unit Inventory Memo of May 11,2012.   Following an assessment, no changes to the inventory numbers are required at this time.  This   assessment is based on historical usage, the average ramp-up timing, and installation capacity   (anticipating that any new contracts are awarded with current or improved ramp-up and   production rates). 

Recovery has determined that FEMA should continue to maintain an inventory of 2,000 Ready   for Dispatch (RFD) units made up of 800 Northern Zone units and 1,200 Southern Zone units.   All new unit purchases will adhere to the Housing and Urban Development 24 CFR part 3280   Manufactured Home and Safety Standard. 

Recovery understands there will be a need for an additional percentage of units above the 2,000   that will be maintained that are not RFD.  However, Logistics will continue to determine the best   baseline capacity in order to maintain the desired 2,000 RFD units. 

This baseline inventory should include a mix of one, two, and three bedroom units, thermal zone   ratings and Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) units. The inventory targets for   each category are attached.  When MHUs are no longer in RFD status through operational   deployment or other means, procurement or restoration activities should be conducted to return   to the minimum target levels quickly to ensure preparedness for no-notice events. 

The RFD MHU baseline inventory level and the exact mix will continue to be reassessed at the   beginning of each hurricane season and may be adjusted based on operational needs, lessons   learned and ongoing analysis.  Recovery is available to discuss further if you have questions. 

Attachment:  FEMA Temporary Housing Unit Baseline Inventory of May 11, 20l2 with THU   Inventory Target Matrix
