| Summary: | Thanks to media development, interaction in everyday life between observers and events has been created. This relationship is particularly emphasized when it comes to emergencies that arise as a result of natural and other disasters in any part of the world. It is well known that working ability and health of people, which can be disturbed by emergencies, depend on adequate and high-quality nutrition. In such cases, good nutrition is especially important when population is exposed to great efforts, and the food should compensate for the energy consumed and when, due to improper diet, various illnesses can arise. Nowadays, every society invests great efforts to properly organize food stores and timely distribute food to the place of preparation and distribution during an emergency. The paper outlines general conditions of facilities for food preparation and storage. Furthermore, It is explained under which conditions alternative facilities will be used for these purposes, the organization of food storage in warehouses, and the procedures that have to be implemented. Food provision, storage and distribution in emergencies should be the activities of particular importance for population and the society as a whole, and it is necessary to establish the main prerequisite for proper functioning of these activities by legal and other regulations. The Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Armed Forces are one of the largest institutional consumers of food in the country, and thus special importance and attention is given to food storage and organization of distribution. |
