Host: What resources are available to the public for information on how to prepare to evacuate their pets?

Lesa Miller: There are a number of resources for various animal organizations, ours is one of them, we have a new pet emergency preparedness pamphlet that we like to call the 'Pet Program' and it is getting people excited and interested in learning how they can prepare. So we have that specific to our town, but we also have this homeland security brochure that has some real great pointers and goes into in-depth on what to do to prepare. The American Humane Association also has wonderful information, United Animal Nations, their emergency animal response crew has wonderful resource as well as The Humane Society of the United States and many others I am sure. If you just tap into our website or their websites and get information from us.
