This information should be used to modify the EMPCER at the earliest opportunity. The committee is aware that a number of international agencies also have come to the decision that EMPCERs should be based on algorithms very similar to those proposed by the committee, that consider the most important factors affecting energy requirements.

In the future, simple information should be gathered on the physical activity levels of populations requiring emergency food aid in different circumstances, in order to better predict the EMPCER increment for physical activity. · For cold environmental temperatures, the EMPCER should increase by 100 kcal (418 kJ)

· Substituting a population distribution characteristic of industrialized countries had little effect on the EMPCER. However, unusual migration patterns, for example, where a majority of males would be absent from a population a situation that might occur in certain refugee situations were found to have a substantial impact on the EMPCER; thus, where such information is available, the committee suggests that the EMPCER be revised accordingly.
