This toolkit, developed for hospital food services directors and/or hospital dietitians, helps hospitals plan for and document emergency food supplies according to regulatory requirements. Hospital emergency planners should also review and become familiar with these documents for joint planning purposes.

* The Emergency Food Calculation Tool is fully functional as posted, and no passwords are required to use the form. However, if users attempt data entry within a (blue) calculation cell, a password required message will appear. These cells are purposefully locked to prevent users from overriding the formulas that drive the tool. Users should only enter values into pink cells. Blue cells cannot be edited.
