""...Rep. Tom Lantos (news) D-Calif., sponsor of the Pet Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act....The House was to vote late Monday on the bill, which requires that state and local preparedness offices take into account pet owners, household pets and service animals when drawing up evacuation plans. Offices that fail to do so would not qualify for grants from the FEMA."

Thank God, someone is FINALLY taking a stand for people with pets. How many people died as a result of refusing to leave their animals alone? How many more will die in the future if safe evacuation housing is not made available for people AND their pets. In most cases, pets have become family members and WILL NOT be abandoned. Therefore, I am delighted and relieved to see that SOMEONE is finally interested in addressing this issue. Thank you, Ellie Conry, Florida
