Keeping Everyone in Matthew’s Path in Our Thoughts
As Hurricane Matthew causes rising anxieties in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, our hearts go out to everyone in the region. Looking at the storm’s destruction in the Caribbean, the Animal Legal Defense Fund is mourning the many lives lost, and urging anyone in the storm’s path to take appropriate precautions.
We hope that anyone sheltering in place or evacuating can stay united with their human and nonhuman family. The internet offers some very useful emergency preparedness resources including listings of places with pet-friendly accommodations, caring for pets during an emergency and what to take with you if you have to evacuate.
As we watch reports of the storm unfolding on the news and social media, and hear reports from our friends and family in the region, we can’t help but be concerned about everyone in Matthew’s path. We hope the storm will pass through with minimum impact, and we want you to know that we are thinking of all of you.
