By this point, most of you know that my extraordinary blogging prowess isn’t confined to Cross Blog…I also write for Apartment Therapy.

This month, AT is focusing on pets — cute products, how to deal with problems, etc… Given that the nation’s attention is also on disasters, it seemed like the perfect time to remind AT’s hundreds of thousands (really!) readers that planning for your pet in a disaster is really important.

Rather than repeating the whole post here, I’m just going to link to it and provide these three pages that have extensive tips for all varieties of pet owners.

Pets and Disaster: Be Prepared
Pets: First Aid
Farm Animals: Preparedness
