About

This webpage provides an emergency checklist for families with infants and young children. It describes essential items needed to safely feed and care for babies during emergencies. For breastfeeding families, it suggests disposable nursing pads and breast pump supplies. Formula-feeding families should have ready-to-feed formula, powdered formula, bottles, nipples, and cleaning supplies. All families need a well-stocked diaper bag with diapers, wipes, baby food, extra clothes, blankets, medical records, safe drinking water like bottled water; consider a camp stove for boiling water if needed. Some items may not be safe if they can't be cleaned properly with soap and safe water.
