Petroleum shortage contingency plan for the State of Texas
This report outlines a state plan to respond to, manage, and to the extent possible, alleviate the adverse impacts of a petroleum supply disruption on the state or any region of Texas. This plan is intended to serve as a contingency strategy, to be implemented temporarily and only in the event of an actual or impending fuel shortage which the Governor has determined cannot be managed without state action. More specific objectives of the plan are to: provide a unified, consistent, and flexible statewide response to future state petroleum shortages; minimize adverse social and economic impacts of fuel supply shortages on the state; examine and delineate authorities, roles and responsibilities of the state; provide the most equitable distribution of limited fuel supplies to assure continuation of essential services and priority activities; inform local governments, the private sector, and the public of intended state actions; encourage local governments and the private sector to develop action plans which facilitate and complement the state plan; and meet any federal requirements for fuel shortage preparedness.
