Thank you for the FEMA site. I can see that I have fairly good planning in place.

One thing that I have not done yet is to get the implanted ID chips for my three cats. I had decided to do that when I had several bulletins from the ASPCA during the recent Hurricanes in Florida.

The volunteers who tried to round up all the stray pets where overwhelmed by the numbers of animals (esp. cats) that could not be easily identified.

This is what often happens. We see the emergency situations that arise and vow to make our own plans from those lessons learned. Then we put it all in the back of our minds and forget about it till the next "wake-up call."
