The Guide for DHB Emergency Management Staff (PDF, 220 KB) is to help emergency planning and response staff of district health boards (DHBs) plan for and respond to infant feeding needs in an emergency.

Both documents should be read in conjunction with the Ministry of Health’s Position Statement: Infant feeding in an emergency for babies Aged 0–12 Months (PDF, 134 KB) and information pamphlet for parents and caregivers Feeding Your Baby in an emergency: For babies aged 0–12 months (PDF, 311 KB).
