The U.S. Breastfeeding Committee (USBC) and the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) invite you to attend the “Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies: Community Preparedness Systems to Keep Babies Safe” webinar on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, from 2-3:30 p.m. ET.
This session will provide an overview of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) Toolkit, share current research exploring personal experiences and disaster-related factors that influence breastfeeding, and describe how NACCHO has supported communities in emergency preparedness for maternal and child populations. Participants will also learn how Jefferson County Public Health partnered with their Medical Reserve Corps unit and community members to integrate pregnant people, families, and infants into Emergency Preparedness Planning.
