Bug-out locations? The zones seem to be in some of the most remote areas, and probably have about zero infrastructure. Like wild horse habitat in Nevada.
The zones correlate ~98% with “Climate and Economic Justice” zones that are classified as “Disadvantaged” (a toggle on the map shows those). About a third of the country is classified as “disadvantaged”. Almost all the area of several states are either that or “partially disadvantaged”. Does this give FEMA the authority to do stuff they would otherwise have to leave to the states?
