ILCA has some great information on breastfeeding in emergencies and will have more as this year's WBW theme packet becomes available.
My mother-baby hospital supervisor just came from an inservice given by a national company on emergencies. She told me they told her that in an emergency to get rid of all bottles immediately as they pose a threat to babies when re-used, since clean water supplies are at a premium. She also said that they needed to plan for ~gallon water/person/day, but for a bottle-feeding mothers it increases to 7 gallons of water/mother-baby/day!
Yippe! All babies must then be breastfed! Not that most of ours (about 95+% ) are already breastfed. I found that interesting.
