It's National Preparedness Month!

September is recognized federally as National Preparedness Month. While preparedness should be ongoing year-round for Californians, this is a helpful reminder to continue planning and preparing for disasters.

Remember that pets and domestic livestock should be included in family and community disaster planning. Does your emergency go bag include pet supplies? Have you thought through how, if you had to, you’d relocate livestock off your property? What resources are available in your local community to help your family during a disaster?

CVET promotes preparedness through meeting with local authorities throughout California that play a role in animal disaster response to generate emergency plans, plan updates, establish mutual aid, and much more!

CVET also maintains and promotes a list of helpful resources that can help you be better prepared for disasters which can be found here.
