“…Especially during disasters, constructing and developing the emergency food supply system from the perspective of the supply chain contributes to maintaining flexibility and resiliency of the emergency food supply system and improving the efficiency of the emergency food supply [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. However, managing the food supply chain during disaster response is not that straightforward, and changes in disaster environment and society relationship over the last several years have raised the requirement for effective food supply chain management to a new level [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. During most disasters, lack of information, poor coordination, and confused process make it difficult to achieve an effective emergency food supply.…”

A scientific food emergency supply system is helpful for assuring food supplies continuity, improving response efficiency, and reducing disaster losses. However, the framework for a food emergency supply system is currently an understudied area in emergency management post-disaster. In this study, a comprehensive literature review of major databases was performed to identify potential indicators for the emergency food supply system, followed by a two-round modified Delphi with a multidisciplinary expert panel (n = 17) to verify the proposed framework. The effective response rate of questionnaires ranged from 94.4% (17/18) to 100% (17/17) and the authority coefficient of experts was 0.88, indicating high positivity and reliability of the experts. Furthermore, the p-values of Kendall’s W were < 0.01 and the Cronbach’s α were > 0.7 for all domains and indicators, indicating a high reliability and validity for the proposed framework. Finally, a consensus was reached on all eight domains and 81 indicators. In conclusion, this study introduced and verified a multidisciplinary framework for the food emergency supply system, which could provide a theoretical basis for emergency responders to make corresponding commands and decisions post-disaster.
