Preparedness Tip of the Day

September 5th - Dogs may be man's best friend, but due to health regulations, most emergency shelters cannot house animals.  Find out in advance how to care for your pets and working animals when disaster strikes.  Pets should not be left behind, but could be taken to an veterinary office, family member's home or animal shelter during an emergency.  Also be sure to store extra food and water for pets.  For more information, visit the Animal Safety section on www.redcross.org or visit the Humane Society web site at www.hsus.org.
