Great idea @RhodeIslandEMA ... National Pet Month is a great time to make sure pets are part of your emergency plan!

🐾💼 May is National Pet Month, and that means it’s the perfect time to make sure your pets are part of your emergency plan!

In a disaster, your furry friends rely on you. Pack a pet go-bag with food, medications, and comfort items. Make sure ID tags and microchips are up to date, and know which shelters or hotels allow pets.

Prepared pets = peace of mind. 🐶🐱

Some parts of Michigan may see some severe weather overnight tonight. It is best to have a warning system that will wake you up during the night. Also, be prepared to shelter from large hail or falling tree branches.

An estimated one in five youth has a diagnosable mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder – yet many do not receive the help they need. These challenges can significantly impact their ability to learn and develop. Read @GovWhitmer’s proclamation here:
