As many of us in the South know hurricane season is upon us.  Here in Florida there have been thunderstorms and down pours on a daily basis.  It seems that home now a days is the only place to find shelter and solace. 

If you are like many of us located in prime storm territory you may want to review your policies and procedures for hurricane and storm safety.  Some good resources to find information are:

www.hsus.org/hsus_field/hsus_disaster_ce...

www.fema.gov/areyouready/hurricanes.shtm...

www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/disaster_p...

Also, check out PetPoint Community's Forum section under Policies and Procedures and add yours and review others. 

Be safe this storm season and provide information in your shelter to adopters and visitors and what they can do to keep their pet safe.
