A note about the PETS Act: On
10/6/06 President Bush signed this
law into action. The PETS Act
requires local and state
emergency preparedness
authorities to include in their
evacuation plans how they will
accommodate household pets and
service animals in case of a
disaster. Read more about this Act.
