Animal rescuers set to go in after Gustav
By Sharon Peters, Special for USA TODAY
“The government officials and procedures have taken intoaccount that people won’t leave without their pets and have made provisions for
that,” says Linda Anderson, who with her husband Allen, investigated Katrina
and wrote Rescued: Saving Animals from Disaster, a clarion call for
advance disaster planning for animals. “The intake procedures are organized and
standardized so animals don’t get lost in the system. … (The government) is
working side by side with the animals groups.”
