When we think about emergency management and public safety, animals might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But from loose or aggressive dogs to emergencies involving pets and animal safety during disasters, Animal Control plays an important role in protecting both people and animals.
In this episode of HometownReady, we’re sitting down with local Animal Control professionals to take a closer look at the calls they respond to, the challenges they face, and what the public should know when an animal-related emergency happens.
We’ll also talk about what pet owners can do to prepare their four-legged family members before disaster strikes.
When it comes to being prepared, every member of the family deserves a plan... paws included. 🐾
