Preferred term

provision of food in disasters  

Definition

  • One of the most notable but sometimes least-planned factors in disaster response and preparation is food provision. Although food and potable water are two of the most basic of necessities for life, they are often overlooked and not adequately planned for, especially in regard to citizens helping themselves before a disaster.
