Sphere Guidelines some notes...
Highlighted in the book:
“although food distribution is the most common response to acute food insecurity in disasters, other types of response may also help people meet their immediate food needs” (page 121).

Food Distribution or Production?

Both aspects must be addressed based on assessments of humanitarian needs and the local environmental conditions
Urban Resilience
Adaptation capacity of an urban ecosystem to a range of hazards or shocks
