Jeanette, I don't know of anything but should you choose to write something I would be happy to provide some assistance. The following is a snippet out of a submission to a govt inquiry that I am working on that I thought might be helpful. Karleen Gribble Australia "I would like to suggest that emergency preparedness materials for seasonal emergencies might contain a sentence along the lines of "Mothers who are breastfeeding and are considering weaning may wish to delay weaning until after the cyclone/bushfire season because of the increased risks associated with the use of infant formula when power and water supplies are disrupted" and more generalised emergency preparedness documents contain information so that those who are interested in preparing for a pandemic are made aware of the risk that formula fed babies are placed at and breastfeeding endorsed as providing food security for infants. Babies who are formula fed are at risk because (amongst other things) food security is an issue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeanette Panchula" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 9:53 AM Subject: Emergency information for PARENTS > Do you know of any materials prepared for parents? I have lots of information on our MCAH website for health care providers and for emergency preparedness staff (http://www.mch.dhs.ca.gov/programs/bfp/emergency-prep.htm), which includes a 48 page document about Infant Feeding in Emergencies A guide for Mothers (http://www.euro.who.int/document/e56303.pdf) > However, our county is planning on doing an outreach to the community and would like to include a SMALL handout on emergency preparedness for infants and young child feeding.
