The needs of a pregnant woman and babies during a disaster are unique. March of Dimes urges families to follow any evacuation and preparation instructions given by local state agencies. For questions about the health effects of the disaster, please talk with a health care professional.

The March of Dimes is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Founded in 1938, the March of Dimes funds programs of research, community services, education, and advocacy to save babies and in 2003 launched a multi-year campaign to address the increasing rate of premature birth. For more information, visit the March of Dimes Web site at http://www.marchofdimes.com or its Spanish language Web site at http://www.nacersano.org.
