Today’s Critter Chat concerns Animal Disaster Preparedness for Hurricanes
The National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration warns that this year’s hurricane count will be double the national average. Hurricane hazards include: storm surges, high winds, tornados and flooding. The good news is that for the first time, pet-friendly evacuation centers are planned for some areas of Florida.
In the past people have refused to leave their pets putting emergency personnel, themselves and their animals at risk. Hurricane season doesn’t end until November 30th so if you live in a risk area, prepare now.
You’ll need:
-to outline a disaster plan,
-and to prepare emergency kits for your pets and your family,
-finally, get materials from disaster rescue agencies to help you better prepare.
