A self-designed questionnaire consisting of ۱۰ questions with acceptable validity and reliability was used with Cronbach alpha coefficient of ۰.۸. Finally, the data were analyzed by ۱-sample t-test and Mann -Whitney test through SPSS ۱۶. Results: The results showed that ۳۹%, ۳۵.۵%, and ۲۵.۵% of the participants had a good, moderate, and low level of awareness about nutrition and preservation in disasters, respectively. No significant difference was observed between genders (P> ۰.۰۵), and fields of study with regard to their awareness (P=۰.۰۰۲).
