The following items are recommended for inclusion in a disaster kit specifically for horses. Make one kit for each horse in your care. Food and Water: * One-week supply of the food or special feed your horse is used to eating. Store in an airtight, waterproof container and rotate every three months to ensure freshness * One-week supply of water, stored in a cool, dark location. 50-gallon barrels are good for storing water * If tap water is not suitable for humans to drink during a disaster, it is also not suitable for cats to drink * Feeding and water buckets Atlantic Tropical Storm BONNIE Advisory Number 5Atlantic Tropical Storm BONNIE Advisory Number 5 …CENTER OF BONNIE OVER BISCAYNE BAY…MOST OF THE WEATHER ALREADY INLAND… SUMMARY OF 1100 AM EDT…1500 UTC…INFORMATION Atlantic Tropical Storm ALEX Advisory Number 24Thu, 01 Jul 2010 09:31:19 -0500 …ALEX PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAIN OVER MEXICO AND SOUTH TEXAS AS IT CONTINUES TO WEAKEN… Bay Endurance Horse Vanishes in Hansen Dam Wash, Los Angeles, CA
On Sunday, June 20, 2010, Jacqy Gamble’s life was turned upside down when her beloved horse, Mensche, bolted during an endurance training session in the Hansen Dam Wash. After an intense search spanning 48 hours, including an infrared flyover of the wash, there was no sign of the missing Mensche. Mensche, a 12 year old bay Arabian gelding with four white stocking and a full blaze, measuring 15.2 hands, became missing during a trail ride June 20. The seasoned endurance horse was startled when a dog ran underneath him. Gamble became dislodged and Mensche broke free, taking off with the dog chasing him. Gamble searched the nearby area, but was unable to find any sign of Mensche. The dog’s owner reported he had come home, but the spooked horse was nowhere to be found. During the next 48 hours Gamble and volunteers searched the Tujunga Wash at Hansen Dam but were unable to find any evidence of what happened to Mensche. On Tuesday evening, the LAPD conducted a flying infrared scan of the area to see if they could detect any signs of a large warm-blooded animal. They were unable to find anything, leading Gamble to believe that someone could have caught Mensche Sunday after he got loose. Atlantic Hurricane ALEX Advisory Number 18Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:32:06 -0500 …ALEX BECOMES THE FIRST HURRICANE OF THE 2010 SEASON AND THE FIRST JUNE ATLANTIC HURRICANE SINCE 1995… SUMMARY OF 1000 PM CDT…0300 UTC…INFORMATION Make Emergency Pet Plans for Hurricane SeasonTALLAHASSEE — Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson is reminding Floridians to create an emergency response plan for their animals as hurricane season approaches. Bronson says people should not wait until the last minute to think about how they are going to evacuate or shelter their animals during a disaster. People may need to leave their homes quickly and a well-thought-out plan will help ensure the safety of animals and the peace of mind of their owners. Bronson’s Division of Animal Industry website http://www.doacs.state.fl.us/ai (click on “Emergency Management”) links to numerous websites that provide information about pet-friendly emergency shelters and hotels. There is also extensive emergency preparedness information for owners of large and small animals. Some tips for people with animals include: Women’s Horse Industry Association to Raise Money for Middle Tennessee Horses and Owners Who Were Affected by the Recent FloodThe Women’s Horse Industry Association, the largest business networking group in the world for women in the horse industry, is bringing together all of their contacts both in the horse industry and in the music industry to raise funds for the horses and owners who were affected by the recent flood in Middle Tennessee. “A great number of horse and farm owners in Middle Tennessee have lost everything including their barns, their tack, their feed, their bedding and in some cases, even their horses. We have a huge network of women and manufacturers around the country who want to help these horses and owners. We also know that there are a lot of country music stars living in Middle Tennessee who would like to help. So, we are setting up a coalition to bring everyone together to raise the funds to help these horses and owners,” states Catherine Masters, Executive Director. The association which is based in Nashville, Tennessee will be working with rescue groups around the country, manufacturers, horse industry suppliers and entertainers to give support for those in need. FEI Sets Up a Fund for HaitiLausanne (SUI), 8 February 2010 – In response to the tragic earthquake, which rocked Haiti last month, the FEI is inviting the equestrian community to gather financial support. Funds collected will be sent to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO) to assist both organisations in their efforts towards the rebuilding of the sports movement and local sports installations in Haiti once local conditions permit. If you wish to partake in this recovery effort, you may do so by sending your donation to the bank account below with the indication “Donation Fund for Haiti”. Bank UBS SA, 1002 Lausanne, Switzerland Account holder: Federation Equestre Internationale Account 243-G0518709.0 IBAN CH53 0024 3243 G051 8709 0 BIC UBSWCHZH80A FEI President HRH Princess Haya, UN Messenger of Peace and Chairperson of International Humanitarian City (IHC), a global humanitarian and aid hub in Dubai, travelled to Port-au-Prince on 22 January 2010 to oversee a delivery of 90 metric tonnes of relief supplies for the Haitians, meet with Haitian and UN officials and raise awareness of the need for international aid. The shipment was organised by the International Humanitarian City at the request of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and included 40 metric tonnes of canned food and high-energy biscuits, and another 50 metric tonnes of hospital tents, water sanitation equipment, prefabricated offices, and computer and telecommunications equipment. In addition to WFP’s cargo, the plane carried emergency supplies from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the World Health Organisation (WHO), UNICEF and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment. Contributions are also being made by the National Federations. The Irish Jumping Team, consisting of Cameron Hanley, Dermott Lennon, Cian O’Connor and Billy Twomey, have donated EUR 4,000, their prize money from the Nations Cup held in Abu Dhabi on 5 February, to the humanitarian agency GOAL Ireland to aid the relief effort in Haiti. The FEI appreciates all contributions and will report back on the use made of the funds. Media Contact: Malina Gueorguiev FEI Press Manager + 41 78 750 61 33 |
