Video: Preparing Your Pets for a Disaster

Over the past few years, we have seen, perhaps more than ever, the need to be prepared for natural disasters. Though Hurricane Katrina of 2005 and more recent storms like Hurricane Irene and Hurricane Isaac don't occur too often, the fact is that emergencies such as these can happen at any time. As such, it's important to expect the unexpected, and for the sake of your family's safety be ready for anything that may come your way.

With this in mind, it's important to not exclude your furry friends in your emergency preparations. As family members, their safety is important, too.
