Emergency Preparedness Helps ~ Pets Come In All Sizes In A Hurricane Disaster!

Not all Pets In A Hurricane Emergency Preparedness Plan Are Less Than 40 lbs!

OK I admit I am a bit limited in my thinking when it comes to pets. My pets’ are all under 40 pounds and have fur.

I personally don’t like snakes or mice (or frankly any of their distant relatives). But there are loads of folks who are very attached to their snake or horse or goat or parrot. All God’s creatures need to be protected in a hurricane as much as possible.

I just found a great website that discusses horses and disasters. If you have a horse this is the place to start your emergency preparedness for disaster preparedness information on your 4 hoofed friend. Get all your emergency preparedness tips and then develop your equestrian emergency preparedness kit and both of you ride out a hurricane disaster in comfort and safety!

Please share your thoughts, emergency preparedness tips and stories here on this blog.

All I ask is that everyone be respectful and sensitive of each other and that identifying information about a person who is not the author be limited to protect their privacy.

Be Safe

AAEP State Equine Emergency Network (SEEN)

http://www.aaep.org/emergency_prep.htm

In order to provide support for AAEP members who have been impacted by a disaster, the AAEP Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Committee is developing a nationwide communication network. The committee is looking for AAEP members in every state to serve as liaisons in gathering vital information about the impact of a disaster on other members and horse owners in order to effectively assist them in getting back to work.

With this network and its information-gathering ability in place, the AAEP can become a national resource for equine-related data in a post-disaster period. When government officials or the media want timely information about a disaster’s impact on the domestic animal population, the communication conduit will be critical. Through this effort, the AAEP will gain credibility on both state and national levels, but, most importantly, the AAEP and its members will be able to help horses more effectively during times of disaster.
