Maintaining Good Nutrition During a Disaster. Points to remember about foods and good nutrition during a disaster: > Make it a rule that you eat at least one square meal every day. > Drink adequate amounts of liquid – water, soup, juices, and beverages – to enable your body to function properly. > Varieties may be limited but calorie intake should be ample in order to meet energy needs and to provide protein to do important tasks. > In your disaster planning, experiment by serving your family a “disaster menu.” Practice by serving your family a “disaster meal” once a month so that they will be familiar with survival food preparation.
