Be prepared this tornado season
The devastating tornadoes in Picher remind us that disaster can strike any time. The photo here by Oklahoman photographer Jim Beckel is of Boudreaux, a basset hound who’s peering out of his owner’s pickup. His owner lost his entire home in the tornado.
Even though we can’t control nature, we can control something: our preparedness. The ASPCA Web site has an entire section devoted to disaster preparedness. They have six key steps to making sure you and your animals survive whatever nature throws at you:
- Put an animal alert sticker on your home.
- Arrange a safe haven where you can stay.
- Create an emergency and travel kit.
- Choose designated caregivers.
- Make an evacuation plan.
- Prepare for what might happen where you live.
