Samantha,
I'm not aware of anything but am asking around. I think that developing 
emergency preparedness resources targeted at parenting in areas that 
experience seasonal/regular emergencies would be very worthwhile (I think 
that such materials should include suggesting to parents that if they are 
thinking about stopping breastfeeding that they might consider delaying 
until after the flood, cyclone/hurricane, bushfire season etc in order to 
protect their baby if an emergency occurs).
Next year's WBW theme is on emergencies so this is something we should start 
thinking about. Anyone like to have a go?

Subject: Resources for parents - BF in emergencies


Hello everyone,
Our WIC office is putting together emergency preparedness kits for our
participants. I would like to include information about breastfeeding during 
an
emergency, including warnings about the use of formula and/or bottles when
there isn't a reliable, clean water source. Does anyone know of resources
currently available that are lower literacy and speak to parents? I have 
found
some great resources that Texas WIC developed in the wake of Katrina, but
was wondering if there is anything else out there. I've been looking all 
day...
Thanks,
Samantha
