Adorable Child (AC) tells me she wants us to volunteer. She’s particularly worried about the pets, since people were not allowed to evacuate with them in 2005. I told her we’ll start calling shelters.
Who’s got some good news to share? Now’d be good.

I’m really glad they are allowing pets on the public evacuation. I cannot imagine having to choose between going to safety and taking care of my dog. And I can’t understand people who evacuate by car and do not take pets along.
Please share any info you and AC uncover about helping.
