Hunger in the US: How disasters disrupt access to food

Learn More Here

Hunger, or periods of severe food insecurity when people may go for days without eating because of lack of money, access to food or other resources, affects 14% of households and about 1 in 5 children in the U.S.

As food prices increase year after year while funding cuts continue to hit programs across the country, working families struggle to afford food daily. When a natural hazard or severe weather occurs, it exacerbates hunger by disrupting supply chains, reducing access to food from stores or restaurants, increasing pressures on support systems like food banks, and causing power outages that may prevent people from making their own food.
