Prepare specifically for infants
Consider feeding, hygiene, warmth and continuity of care.
Infants need more than scaled-down adult supplies. Discuss daily needs with caregivers and clinicians and review food, water, cleaning, medicine information and movement arrangements.
Review the daily care routine
List supplies from the actual routines of feeding, changing, cleaning and sleep. Include allergies, feeding arrangements, age, sizes and health needs, using labels and professional advice.
Recheck when water or cleaning arrangements change
Disasters may change safe-water and cleaning arrangements. Do not improvise formula dilution or use uncertain water for feeding equipment. Seek qualified local help for feeding difficulties or health concerns.
Support the caregiver too
Record backup caregivers, health contacts and who carries supplies during a move. Preserve familiar care where possible and keep full health and identity information out of public websites.
