On this episode of Emergency Preparedness in Canada (EPIC) Podcast, we discuss the sometimes emotionally charged topic of managing pets during disaster. Why is it so important? What can be done to better prepare?
To answer this, we speak with special guest Dr. Kim Williams, a Professor at Mount Royal University, and disaster sociology researcher, who recently published a paper highlighting some of the issues which arose during the 2016 Alberta Wildfires when pets were forceable abandoned.
All this and more on this episode of EPIC Podcast: Current, Relevant, Canadian.
