Influenza pandemics are a real risk and are best managed by self-isolation and social distancing to reduce the risk of infection and spread. Such isolation depends on availability of food of adequate quantity and quality. Australia has one of the most concentrated food supplies of any country, making rapid food depletion more likely in a crisis. Food stockpiling by both authorities and citizens is an important safety precaution that should be given greater media coverage. Food and nutrition guidelines are provided for survival rations in the event of a pandemic or other catastrophe.
流感大流行是一种切实存在的风险，最好通过自我隔离和保持社交距离来降低感染和传播风险。这种隔离取决于是否有足够数量和质量的食物供应。澳大利亚是所有国家中食品供应最为集中的国家之一，这使得在危机中食物更快耗尽的可能性更大。当局和公民储备食物是一项重要的安全预防措施，应得到媒体更多的报道。针对大流行或其他灾难情况下的生存口粮，提供了食品和营养指南。
