Hurricane/Tropical Storm Gustav and a 5 month old?

Allie’s mommy asked:


Help I live in Louisiana and I am worried to death about Hurricane/Tropical Storm Gustav hitting Louisiana!!!! I have a 5 month old and I need to know what should I have for her to be prepared in cases of evacuation. This is the first storm that is even coming close to hitting us. I am clueless on what all I should have packed for her. Here is what I have so far.

9 cans of formula (did breast feed for 6 weeks but was not producing enough milk)
3 cases of water
Clothes
Baby food
Medicine
Blankets
Batteries
Wipes
Diapers

Is there something that I am forgetting or any suggestions of things that helped out in a situation.
It did not even cross my mind about important papers and her baby book, I am going get more cases of water tomorrow
I live in Simmesport, about one hour West of Baton Rouge. I m 2 hours form New Orleans. I know that New Orleans were calling our jails today trying to transport inmates here. My only concern is if NOLA residents come here to evacuate than where do we go if needed?
