Here’s the audio from todays discussion about pets and hurricanes

There’s still a lot we aren’t sure about with #Debby, but we do know we’ll see a lot of rainfall and flooding. As you’re preparing your home and families, please plan for your pets too. Evacuation: If possible, take your pets with you. Ensure they have proper carriers and identification tags. Sheltering in Place: Move outdoor pets indoors. Place a notice on your home with pet details and your contact information. Move pet toys and beds to higher ground to keep them dry. Pet Disaster Kit: Consider including items like food, water, bowls, bedding, medications, first-aid supplies, and sanitation items.

📢 🐶𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: A free disaster relief plan for pets launched today in Florida.🐶📢 Nonprofit animal rescue 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘄 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽 and pet collar tech company 𝗙𝗶𝗱𝗼𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 are offering the program, which comes with a smart tag. Owners who sign up get real-time SMS text message alerts during storms with resources for people and pets and a "𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸" before storms. Additionally, they get a free pet tag engraved with the pet's name and unique pet ID number, which links to FidoAlert's nationwide database to help reunite lost pets with their owners. Every member of the alert network within a few miles can get a text alert if a pet goes missing. When someone finds a pet, they can scan the QR code, and the pet parent and emergency contacts will get notified automatically. https://lnkd.in/eSj6Mm7g #DisasterRelief #PetSafety #AnimalRescue #TechForGood #EmergencyPreparedness #PetProtection #DisasterPreparedness #Nonprofit #PetTech #CommunitySupport #PetRescue #EmergencyAlerts #InnovativeTech #PetOwners #SafetyFirst
