Disaster is a tragic event which causes excessive mortality, suffering, and financial damage. One of the most important basic needs of people after a disaster is food. Providing and distributing healthy, adequate, and hygienic food is one of the biggest challenges which managers always face in a crisis because disasters have different effects on food situation and nutrition of the affected area (Ireton-Jones et al., 2019). Therefore, one of the major consequences of disasters is the reduction of energy and food supply sources. Evaluation of available food sources, proper rationing, prioritization of high-risk groups such as children and pregnant or lactating women, and food distribution should be considered according to the assessment of minimum energy and nutrient requirements
