FEMA advises public to prepare pets for natural disaster
American families may be prepared for a natural disaster but are their
pets ready? September is National Preparedness Month sponsored by the United
States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and

disaster – be informed, make a plan, build a kit and get involved,” FEMA Region
6 Administrator Tony Robinson said in a September 8 press release. “We
encourage you to take things one step further and make sure you are financially
ready too.”
