Legislation Would Require Pet Evacuation Planning
POSTED: 7:42 pm EDT May 22, 2006

WASHINGTON -- The House has passed legislation that requires pets to be
considered in future emergency preparedness plans.
The measure mandates state and local preparedness offices to take into account
pet owners, household pets and service animals when drawing up evacuation
plans. Offices that fail to do so would not qualify for grants from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
The sponsor of the bill is California Democrat Tom Lantos, who was moved by TV
footage of a little boy losing his dog during Hurricane Katrina rescue
operations.
The bill was passed 349-24.
Similar legislation has also been introduced in the Senate.
