LLLI has a whole page on their website with links and tips about
breastfeeding in emergencies, including Relactation.  It is quite thorough
and should be helpful for you!

http://lalecheleague.org/emergency.html

Also, I believe that LatchOn.org, a clearinghouse for donations of items and
money, sponsored by LLLI will be accepting breastfeeding related items for
donations for the victims of Katrina.  I plan to donate WAB's, slings,
boppys and nursing tops that I have.  Anything to help the breastfeeding
mom's and counteract the numerous donations of formula!! 

Sweet Nursings,

Subject: relactation / Katrina

Hi-

I have been lurking on Lactnet for a year or so. I am a new breastfeeding 
counselor working in California. My husband is a firefighter and a paramedic

and will be going to New Orleans in a week or so with a group of volunteer 
paramedics.

He does not know what he will be doing there, nor what patients he will see.

He wants to be able to talk to mothers about relactation AND, if possible,  
would like to be able to educate his colleagues about relactation.

I don't feel competent to put together a quick set of accurate guidelines 
for him. Is even possible to quickly educate a group of allied health 
professionals from scratch?? Of course, we wouldn't want to do more harm 
than good!

Does anyone know of anything prepared, or could someone help me put 
something together?

Thanks for your help.

Molly Brannigan
