Food Safety Resources
Emergencies and disasters may disrupt operations and increase food safety risks. The FNS Food Safety Emergency Response webpage provides resources that can help FNS program operators to prevent foodborne illness during emergencies and disasters.
The Food Safety Emergency Response Pocket Guide was published in April 2022 and is available in English and Spanish. This resource supports school nutrition professionals in their response to food safety emergencies caused by disasters and weather-related events. Emergencies addressed include power outages, water outages, water contamination, sewage issues, floods, and fires.
