darryn told me that the l.a. food bank is short eleven million pounds of food every year it's the entire country throws out ninety six billion pounds of food every year what about just los angeles county i'm going to use this whipped cream i got out of the dumpster the other night to do the math to see how much food l.a. county throws away every year every year in l.a. county we throw away twenty four billion pounds of trash. according to the e.p.a. twelve percent of that is food waste that means we throw away two billion eight hundred eighteen million pounds of food saving just one percent of valets food waste would equal nearly thirty million pounds of food that's almost triple what the food bank is short every year. in ways happens on all levels of production and consumption on farms in transit in the making of highly produced foods in grocery stores in restaurants and in our homes our grocery stores are the obvious choice for redirecting wasted food to hungry people. i decided to go to the trader joe's headquarter

cross report, 7.2 magnitude earthquake were to strike l.a., 564,000 people would need to be sheltered and additional 2.5 million would require food and water. and unfortunately the l.a. metro area has only 341 shelter facilities with only 84,000 beds. can you tell me what progress has been made since that report? >> gentlemen. working with the emergency manager for the city, our region nine works with state of california. you point out again, if l.a. has this earthquake, they're not going to have enough shelters. the question is, are the shelters even survivable in the earthquake? we know we're going to have to depend upon nonimpacted communities to shelter that population. we work very closely with california emergency management agency on their plans and our ability to support literally having to get people to shelter outside that area versus what we can bring in to provide temporary shelters. so the plan is safety first and life sustaining activities and then looking at the temporary housing, trying to stabilize population and get them back in. but this is a very good example of why only looking at what the city of los angeles
