FNS plays a vital role in providing supplemental nutrition assistance when disasters occur by coordinating with State, local, and voluntary organizations to: (1) provide food for shelters and other mass feeding sites, (2) distribute food packages directly to households in specific situations, (3) offer flexibility in nutrition assistance programs’ design and administration to continue providing benefits to participants in need, and (4) approve eligible States’ requests to operate a Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP).
