Agencies need to plan for people who own pets. We have seen that people with pets behave differently in a disaster. Helping people prepare to take care of their pets in disasters can be critical to helping protect their owners as well.
Here’s the podcast’s description:
“Pets are part of the family. They come in a variety of types of animals, birds, reptiles, and they sometimes get more attention than other two-legged members of the family. When disasters strike, they are just as easily impacted as humans. In this podcast we explore what people can do before a disaster to protect their pets and then what to do when a disaster does strike. Sharon Hawa, a Senior Strategist with Best Friends Network Partners is the guest on this podcast.”
