State and local emergency preparedness plans will have to make provisions for families with pets and individuals with service animals under new legislation signed by President Bush Oct. 6.
The law grants the Federal Emergency Management Agency authority to help state and local governments develop emergency and evacuation plans that take pets and service animals into account.
The agency can provide assistance for individuals with pets and service animals, and for the animals themselves, following a major disaster. The legislation also authorizes using federal funds to help states create pet-friendly emergency shelter facilities.
