We at the DSHS/WIC have a great DVD with a Rita survivor who was stuck in the hospital, wasn't nursing, and ran out of water/formula.  Baby would have starved to death if she had not begun to breastfeed. She called 211 and was put in touch with Moms' Place/LC.   I even have posters in my office that talk about infant feeding in disasters that encourage mom to BF -- her only option when water/formula aren't available.  I always tell my clients, esp. in hurricane season, that we never know when a natural dissaster is going to hit us, and we need to be prepared. Think about what you would do if you couldn't get formula.  How would you feed your baby???
