Military activities have found it necessary to feed
survivors of such disasters. As the leading MS, you
should be familiar with your command’s disaster
preparedness contingency plan, which should include
specifics on how to set up and feed the victims of
disasters. You also should know how to properly
account for the feeding of these personnel. Accounting
procedures for emergency and disaster feeding is
covered in the Expenditures and Accounting section of
the NAVSUP P-486, volume I.
There are two classes of survivors of disasters used
for accounting purposes. These classes are destitute
survivors of disasters and survivors of disasters having
personal funds.
1. Destitute survivors of disasters include
refugees, civilian evacuees, and American merchant
seamen. They are conditionally entitled to
rations-in-kind and may be fed in Navy GMs at sea. The
CO must first determine that the survivors are in fact
destitute. The issuing command should use a locally
prepared form to furnish information establishing
entitlement of rations issued. This letter (fig. 13-2) is
called the certification of rations issued form. The
Ration System section of the NAVSUP P-486, volume
I, furnishes instructions on the completion of this form.
Ration credit is taken for destitute survivors of
disasters in the same reamer as for rations-in-kind
personnel. They are recorded on the monthly Ration and
Sales Report, NAVSUP Form 1357, under Ration
Breakdown. Code 14 is used to designate the type of
personnel receiving rations as disaster survivors.
2. Survivors of disasters having personal funds are
authorized to eat in the GM on a cash basis and must pay
cash for each meal they receive. The rates charged for
these meals are either those published in the
NAVSUPINST 4061.9 or current prices established
under the item pricing system. You should make every
effort to collect cash from these personnel at the time of
sale.
This class of personnel requires written
authorization to receive rations from the GM. This
authorization may be included in the supply department
or command organization manual. Charges and
