Animals.
To some people they're like children. To others they're an important way to earn
a living. To many of us, they're a big part of our lives.
But when it comes to emergencies, animals, whether they're house pets, livestock, or in the wild, have often been overlooked by emergency planners and the general public. But that's changing here in the United States and elsewhere.
In
this section of FEMA's website, we're gathering the best advice and resources
available to help you prepare and respond to the emergency needs of your
animals, whether you're responsible for caring for one or one hundred.
And we'll provide tips on how you can support organizations that care for
animals in the wild or those which have been separated from their owners due to
emergencies; we'll also offer tips on how you can make a difference in such
situations when you're on your own.
