Those who come for assistance might not all be infants and toddlers. Even cloth diapers normally used for infants would not be as useful in such circumstances.

If anything, women can use cloth diapers if/when they run out of sanitary pads. Just fold them and pin in. They can be used in first aid situations as well. I'm sure there are other uses I haven't thought of yet. Sandra I agree that we should store both. If anything, women can use cloth diapers if/when they run out of sanitary pads.

There is a problem should you lack water. There may also be a problem with garbage being picked up after a disaster, even miles away, so in the end you will want to have cloth stored also. These are not my reasons for starting with disposable. During an emergency there will be plenty of stress, relocation, insurance, worry about the future and if you have kids possibly nightmares and extreme insecurity. If you have been through an earthquake, for example, every time a child feels a big truck rumble by they will think there is another earthquake even if you are 50 miles away from home. I suggest disposable so during that first week or two of adjustment you don't have to worry about washing out messy diapers. Keep it simple in the beginning.

Babies can go through many diapers each day and when they are out, they are out. Cloth diapers allow you to use more than once and for more than one size. Any drawbacks to this? Water usage maybe?
