Figure 1. The three proposed intake categories: adequate intake (AI), moderate- and severe-risk- associated intakes (MRAI and SRAJ). Threshold values were found in USDA DRIs and TULs [29,30], EFSA DRVs [31,32] and TULs [33], WHO PNIGs [34,35] and emergency management handbooks [23,36], and in other literature (see Table S2 in Supplementary Materials). The intake of each nutrient was classified into three different categories based on th nutrition literature: adequate intake, moderate- and severe-risk-associated intakes (Figur: 1). Complete referencing is available in the Supplementary Materials (Table $2).

The current analysis highlights the difficulty of providing an adequate supply of some micronutrients, markedly vitamins D and E. Deficiencies of these vitamins, how- ever, are largely common across vast portions of the global population today [72-74], in- dicating that population survivability may not be hampered during the catastrophe even if these deficiencies were present. More research on efficient, adequate interventions such as fortification and supplementation schemes is useful for both addressing this problem today and during a catastrophe. Strategic micronutrient supplement stockpiles could be a useful resource for addressing this problem during global food catastrophes.
