<< It seems to me that this is the time to identify
ourselves and our profession as being experts and 
contribute to future emergency planning.>>

That is my fondest wish ::Sigh::

<< my point is, now, while we are full of
fire, will ILCA, LLLI, NABA, and other US
Breastfeeding organizations, IBLCE put emergency
breastfeeding service and delivery of lactation
services high on the "to do" list and begin lobbying
for our involvement in planning committees.>>

If we want to change things, that's what must be done.  We must, as a
profession, find a way to be included in emergency planning.  Until we
are anything we do AFTER the storm (or other catastrophe) hits will be
tantamount to spitting into the wind - a Category 5 hurricane's wind.

<<This would mean developing a new sub-organization, but
it may be necessary.>>

Consider me a volunteer :-)  Call me up, and I'm there!
