Forwarding from another email list. Lactation consultants are not listed as an area of expertise, perhaps they should be alerted to the need though I expect that many IBCLCs with other letters would fit their criteria.

  For those who want to volunteer to provide medical help in the disaster 
  area, teams are being formed now and over the coming week. From what we 
  understand, DHHS will provide transportation from an airport near you to a 
  site that needs help. Any US citizen with 
  medical/nursing/IT/Security/Safety/medical admin/allied health backgrounds 
  can sign up online to volunteer to provide medical and medical support help. 
  Expect field conditions in the environment - very austere - be prepared to 
  sleep in a tent, eat boxed meals, no promise about regular showers, no air 
  conditioning, portable toilets, 12 hour shifts.

  To volunteer, go to www.hhs.gov, click on Hurricane Katrina on the upper 
  right .
  There will be a list of the medical and medical support skillsets needed and 
  then scroll down to fill out the form with your information and click 
  "submit".
  Have your Social Security number and Medical/nursing license # & expiration 
  date (if you are a provider) onhand before you go online to sign up.
  If you can't get on the website, don't get frustrated and try again 
  later -the site was overloaded due to the media announcements today.
  After you sign up, you will be contacted regarding further details about 
  your assignment.

  God bless and please pass the word along for how to volunteer.
  Best
