Pets...

Many of us see our pets as members of our family.  These resources will help you plan for their needs.  Please review this information prior to the arrival of a disaster.  Your pet's welfare should be planned well in advance of any disaster.  Pet Care Brochure

Kids...

Kids can handle just about anything...if they think their folks are on top of things.  As a hurricane approaches, the energy in adults is high.  Kids pick up on this energy.  Since it is typically unusual, possibly somehat negative, to kids this is confusing or scary.  

Kids can function well during times of disaster when they are informed and well prepared.  The sites and downloads that follow are geared for their education through interaction.  This is a great area to give your kids some one on one quality time.  Here are great sites, coloring books, puzzles - geared to kids of all ages.  Start now; when a storm approaches you might not have time.
