CPOD Calculator

Commodity Point of Distribution Calculator (CPOD) is a free app brought to you by Deployed Resources. CPOD is designed to quickly calculate the quantities of human resources, logistics, and projected commodities required for TYPE I, TYPE II, and TYPE III PODs.

CPODs are sites where the public can pick up life-sustaining supplies during a catastrophic event that disrupts normal supply chains. CPODs have proven important for response and recovery in numerous disasters in the United States and worldwide, and CPOD operations have been formalized and standardized over the past decade.
