What will your animals do in a disaster?

    An important function of CAMBRIA CART is to educate the public on emergency preparedness.  Animals are particularly vulnerable during a disaster because they rely on us for help.  In 1999 Hurricane Floyd claimed the lives of millions of animals in North Carolina and thousands more were separated from their owners.  We also remember the devastation that Hurricane Katrina brought to many. Many pets were never reunited with their owners.  The year 2011 brought wild weather across the entire United States.   While you are planning for emergencies that may affect your family, include provisions for your animals.  How will you continue to provide food, water, and shelter for your animals?  The following links will help you get started.  If you need additional information in preparing for emergencies that may affect your animals, Cambria CART is available to help. 

When a disaster occurs, Cambria County Emergency Management Center will activate CAMBRIA CART if animal assistance is needed.  CART responds to disasters related to agricultural and companion animals.
