What options are available for sheltering your pet during a disaster? Westporter Dr. Veronica Rynn, certified animal chiropractor, will discuss the critical points on how to prepare checklist and make plans to keep everyone safe. After Hurricane Katrina hit she was horrified about what happened (and didn't happen) to all the animals in the midst of the chaos. She immediately became trained in animal disaster services through United Animal Nations. This organization is based out of Sacramento and travels throughout the U.S. responding to various emergencies from puppy mill takeovers to natural disasters where animals need sheltering. Dr. Rynn is on the ESF-11 Animal Disaster Planning Committee for Fairfield County and is a member of Westport CERT.
