Hello all,

The posts on breastfeeding during emergencies are great.  We need to  
keep discussing ways to influence the powers that be.     
Coincidentally, I have a close relative who is very high up in FEMA  
and who was sent to Baton Rouge early  last week in anticipation of  
the storm.  After this has all calmed down, and if he ever gets to go  
home, I plan to present him with as much information as I can gather  
about breastfeeding and emergencies.  Maybe they already have a plan,  
but I don't think so.  Just maybe, with enough information and  
numerous contacts from people like us that  take it seriously,  they  
may eventually take breastfeeding seriously, too.   If anyone has any  
ideas as to how I can proceed with this, please email me privately.

Thanks very much.
