June is National Pet Preparedness Month
This month serves as a reminder for pet owners to create plans that consider the specific needs of our furry companions during emergencies. Whether you’re in a disaster-prone region or not, it’s crucial to have a plan in place for your pets. Here are some essential steps to celebrate this month and keep your pets safe:
- Include Your Pets in Your Emergency Plans: Just like you prepare for your family, make sure your pets are part of your emergency plan. Consider their needs when creating evacuation routes and shelter options.
