Summary
This study developed and verified a multidisciplinary framework for food emergency supply systems. The framework includes eight domains and 81 indicators to improve disaster response and food supply continuity.
Area of Science:
- Disaster Management
- Food Security
- Supply Chain Management
Background:
- Food emergency supply systems are crucial for disaster response but lack a defined framework.
- Existing research in emergency management post-disaster has understudied this critical area.
- Ensuring food supply continuity and reducing disaster losses necessitates a structured approach.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a comprehensive, multidisciplinary framework for food emergency supply systems.
- To identify key indicators for effective post-disaster food supply chain management.
- To provide a theoretical basis for emergency responders' decision-making.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature review identified potential indicators for the food emergency supply system.
- A modified Delphi method with a multidisciplinary expert panel (n=17) was employed for framework verification.
- Statistical analysis, including Kendall's W and Cronbach's alpha, assessed expert reliability and framework validity.
Main Results:
- High expert response rates (94.4%-100%) and authority coefficients (0.88) indicated strong expert engagement and reliability.
- High reliability and validity of the proposed framework were confirmed through Kendall's W (p<0.01) and Cronbach's alpha (>0.7).
- Consensus was achieved on eight core domains and 81 specific indicators for the food emergency supply system.
Conclusions:
- A validated, multidisciplinary framework for food emergency supply systems has been established.
- The framework offers a robust theoretical foundation for enhancing post-disaster food supply chain operations.
- This research provides essential guidance for emergency responders in managing food supplies during crises.

182
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

02:01Factorial Design
13.3K
Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
