NNC-Calabarzon, in collaboration with the Communicators’ Network for Nutrition in Region IV-A (CNN-4A) has developed another series of Nutri-komiks, as a way of disseminating important information to target audience. Series 2 is entitled, Nutrition in Emergencies, which aims to arm the public, including the members of the local nutrition clusters and other nutrition workers, with knowledge and skills required during emergencies.

The story is about a municipality that has prepared for an emergency, and was hit by a disaster. It shows how the negative effects of the disaster can be minimized and lives can be spared with the right preparation. It also contains the LGU Nutrition in Emergencies Preparedness Checklist and Family Emergency Preparedness Food Checklist. 

When disaster hits an area the health and nutritional status of the people is greatly affected. Food security and sanitation are some of the major concerns.  And to address this concern, local nutrition clusters were organized, and are composed of people who are trained to respond during emergencies. In Calabarzon, a total of 2 provincial and 8 city nutrition clusters have already been organized since 2014.

Copies of the Nutri-Komiks were distributed to these nutrition clusters as well as the other targets in 5 provinces and 18 cities in Calabarzon.
