As New Yorkers and public health practitioners, we’ve observed many health- and non-health-related emergencies that have affected our city during the past 2 decades, including 9/11, Hurricane Sandy, and COVID-19. These experiences have prepared us to share innovative strategies to address challenges related to food access during an emergency.
