GHI Initiates Disaster Preparedness Survey
GHI's Companion Animals Committee is trying to find out how prepared cooperative members are for disasters.
The Inc. (GHI) Companion Animal Committee is taking an online survey to find out how prepared members are should a disaster strike. The survey covers emergency plans for both family members and companion animals.
Questions include:
- Do you keep a three-day supply of food and water in your home?
- Has your family designated a place to meet in the event of a disaster?
- Do you have an up-to-date picture of you with your companion animal(s)?
- Do you have a plan for your companion animal(s) in the event of a disaster?
Through a series of these and other questions, the Companion Animal Committee is seeking to to gather information about GHI members’ preparedness. Answers will be used to identify resources and to develop educational events and materials for GHI members.
The survey will be available online through June 30. Members without Internet access may request a hard copy version from GHI Member Services at (301) 474-4161 ext. 140.
