Our continued work on a vexing problem for disaster shelter operators in the U.S.: supporting human-milk fed infants/toddlers AND not forcing families to switch to formula. It's a meal, not medicine.

American Red Cross and other Disaster Shelter Operators (i.e., general population evacuation shelters, serving people with disabilities and access/functional needs)
- Working with their national leadership for updating/revising mass care feeding plans, organization, equipment, training, and exercises associated with pediatric mass care feeding
- This work is aligned to FEMA/DOJ guidelines for mass care shelter operators issued in 2010, which includes the need to support disabilities, access & functional needs within general population shelters (i.e., eliminating the segregation and separation of 'special needs' sheltering).
- Support is need for nursing mothers with Durable Medical Equipment (DME), including high-quality breast pumps and medical refrigeration, Consumable Medical Supplies (CMS) (including pads and human milk storage containers, bottles, etc.), and Personal Assistance Services (PAS) (including lactation counseling).
- Work should be performed with a continuous improvement perspective, and one which includes a feedback loop from the shelter clients (i.e., the nursing mothers) themselves.
- Exercises should be designed along a stair-stepped approach and follow the HSEEP process.
