Prepare Today, Protect Their Tomorrow: June is National Pet Preparedness

Instagram

Undated - June is ‘National Pet Preparedness Month’ and the Michigan State Police, Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division is encouraging Michiganders to create an emergency preparedness kit for their pets in case of an emergency.

Residents are encouraged to identify pet-friendly shelters, hotels, or boarding facilities in advance as many emergency shelters are unable to accommodate animals. Pet owners should also ensure pets wear identification tags, are microchipped when possible, and have updated vaccinations and medical records readily available.

Hans Ahlström is the host of several programs, including the daily musical variety show Weekday, the mostly straight ahead jazz show Night Studio, the self-explanatory Blues Today, and the eclectic Sound Spectrum. You can also hear Hans as the local host of NPR's All Things Considered news magazine. He also helps manage Public Radio 90's web content, interviews local and visiting writers and artists, works with NMU student interns, and writes the occasional news story.
