ResourcesUSDA Resources. Some may be codified as evergreen (must occur) and others may be subject to suspension due to Federal Budget challenges (may occur):* Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - replacement benefits may be obtained for items lost/destroyed due to the disaster. Impacted jurisdictions can ask for the 10-day reporting requirement to be waived, so that replacement food can be obtained quicker.* Disaster Household Distribution Program (DHD) - Disaster household distribution of USDA Foods may occur; such as canned fruits and vegetables, UHT (shelf-stable) milk, canned or pouch chicken, frozen chicken, and pork products.* Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) - This is a separate program from SNAP, which may address the temporary food needs of applicants in an affected area of a state that has received a Presidential declaration of Major Disaster with Individual Assistance, under 7 USC Chapter 51.
