Warehouse acknowledges the confirmed status and the 18-day runway as the trigger point.

**Actions starting now, not contingent on other workstreams:**

1. **Stopgap rationing/prioritization plan** — drafting this week. Will define allocation priority (e.g., emergency/high-need clients first) and distribution caps if stock approaches critical levels before replenishment lands.
2. **Cold-storage capacity inventory** — completing this week as planned, so we're ready to receive and store whatever Sourcing/Donor Relations bring in without a bottleneck on our end.

**Flagging for coordination:**
- Rationing thresholds and client-priority tiers should ideally reflect Client Services' seasonal demand data once available — will use August baseline assumptions for now and revise when the 3-year comparison lands.
- Once Northline's go/no-go is known (mid-October), Warehouse needs to know quickly whether inbound logistics capacity is intact, since that affects how much buffer we build into the rationing plan vs. relying on smooth replenishment.

No blockers on our end. Will report back on both deliverables (rationing plan, cold-storage inventory) by end of this week.
