05 November 2005 FEMA launches pet advice
The hurricanes that have wreaked damage to parts of southern America have not only highlighted the importance of flood prevention and preparation for home safety, but also the need for people to have properly insured they have plans sorted for their pets in the event of a disaster. Released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, "Pets: Before and After a Disaster Strikes" outlines actions that pet owners should take to prepare their pet for a disaster.
The need for pet insurance is clear, with owners being advised to prepare for the fact that their pet may need to be treated in the wake of a disaster, as well as being advised to consider paying for costly processes such as tagging animals to more easily trace them.
FEMA also advise that owners make sure that their pets are up to date with all their vaccinations.
With the winter months approaching and the chances of flooding and storms increasing, pet owners from all countries should heed this advice to prevent further costs and heartache in the future.
