Your pets need you to be prepared to care for them in case of an emergency.

Bad things happen. I don't want you to lose sleep at night dwelling on the possibilities but... if nothing else, face the fact that we live in earthquake country.

As taxpayers we provide for excellent, professional emergency responders for people. When bad things happen to one family or to a particular neighborhood, we can count on 911 responses to these local catastrophes. However, when a big disaster strikes - these emergency responders are quickly overwhelmed. As an observer, the lession I learned from Hurricane Katrina is that we all need to be prepared to CARE FOR OURSELVES (and our pets).

I hope the suggestions and tools enclosed will help you be prepared to care for yourself and your pets in an emergency situation.

Best Regards,
