USDA’s approach to tackling food and nutrition insecurity emphasizes equity to ensure our efforts serve all populations.
Through an examination of 5 disasters in 4 states, this study develops recommendations for best practices in planning for, implementing, and operating D-SNAP.
This collection is an extension of a currently approved collection. This information collection addresses the recordkeeping burden associated with forms FNS–292A (Report of Commodity Distribution for Disaster Relief) and FNS–292B (Report of Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Benefit Issuance).
The USDA Food and Nutrition Service coordinates with state, local, and voluntary organizations to provide nutrition assistance to those most affected by a disaster or emergency.
As part of the federal response to pandemics, emergencies, or disasters FNS plays a vital role by responding to nutrition assistance needs. Through our state and local partners, FNS is working to ensure that children and low-income Americans maintain access to food.
