Abstract

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food security as “access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life” (1). Following a disaster, communities and individual households may experience a disruption in food security. Disaster studies have measured food insecurity primarily following events such as hurricanes and during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Individual households are often most heavily affected. This is clear in studies of households displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, in which participants were asked whether they had enough money for food the family needed.
