Roanoke Area Pets Will Be Safe In An Emergency

This summer's "Derecho" and especially Hurricane Katrina have taught us just how important it is to have a disaster plan. But a plan isn't just important for people; it’s important for pets too! That’s why emergency workers took part in an emergency drill at Patrick Henry High School. They practiced processing pets, coordinating emergency operations and providing needed supplies for pets and their owners. Emergency workers say pet owners are less likely than others to evacuate in an emergency.
