Could Your Pet Find Their Way Home?

If you become separated from your pet during an emergency, proper identification can make all the difference.

🐕 Ensure your pet wears a collar with current ID tags.
🐈 Consider microchipping your pet.
📱 Keep your contact information updated with your microchip provider.
📸 Keep recent photos of your pet in case you need to create a lost pet flyer.

A few minutes of preparation today could help reunite you tomorrow.

The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office K-9 pitched in to help spread the word about Pet Preparedness.

Does Your Pet Have an Emergency Kit?

Emergencies can happen with little warning. Be sure your pet is prepared by assembling a pet emergency kit that includes:

🐾 Food and water for at least 3 days
🐾 Food and water bowls
🐾 Medications and medical records
🐾 Leash, harness, or carrier
🐾 Waste bags and cleaning supplies
🐾 Recent photo of your pet
🐾 Comfort items such as toys or blankets

Store your pet's emergency supplies in an easily accessible location so you're ready when every second counts.

June is Pet Preparedness Month!

When disaster strikes, your pets depend on you to keep them safe. Whether it's severe weather, flooding, power outages, or other emergencies, having a plan for your furry family members is just as important as having one for yourself.

🐶🐱 This month, we'll be sharing tips to help you prepare your pets for emergencies.

Start today by asking yourself:
✔️ Do I have enough food and water for my pet for at least 3 days?
✔️ Are my pet's vaccinations current?
✔️ Does my pet have proper identification?
Prepared pets are safer pets!

🌎 Rutherford County welcomed international Emergency Management partners recently!

Rutherford County Emergency Management Agency, alongside the Tennessee National Guard, had the honor of hosting distinguished guests from Bulgaria, the NATO Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Center (EADRCC), and the Department of War (DoW) Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) Institute for Security Governance (ISG).

The visit provided an opportunity to discuss how local emergency management supports state and federal preparedness frameworks while exchanging best practices in emergency management, disaster preparedness, and response.

This engagement was part of the Tennessee National Guard's State Partnership Program (SPP), which helps strengthen international relationships, foster cooperation, and enhance preparedness through the sharing of knowledge and experience.

We are proud to showcase the work being done in Rutherford County and grateful for the opportunity to learn from our international partners.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this meaningful exchange!

In May, the Rutherford County Emergency Management Agency assisted with the quarterly Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) meeting.

The LEPC brings together public safety agencies, private industry partners, elected officials, healthcare representatives, transportation professionals, media representatives, and community stakeholders to support emergency planning and preparedness for hazardous materials incidents.

During this meeting, attendees received an informative presentation from RCEMS on heat-related injuries and a weather outlook briefing from the National Weather Service Nashville highlighting current and upcoming weather trends impacting our region.

Thank you to everyone who presented and attended. Partnerships like these help strengthen our community's preparedness and response capabilities.

This week Rutherford County Emergency Management Agency hosted a local Emergency Operations Center (EOC) training with responders and partner agencies from across the county in attendance.

Trainings like this strengthen coordination, communication, and preparedness among the agencies that serve our community. By working together before emergencies happen, our EOC is better prepared to operate effectively during disasters, severe weather events, and other large-scale incidents.

Thank you to everyone who participated and continues to support emergency preparedness efforts throughout Rutherford County. Working together helps keep our community safer and more resilient.

Even though severe weather is not in the forecast today, do you have a storm shelter or safe room at your home? Make sure it’s registered with Emergency Management.

Registering your shelter helps first responders locate you more quickly after severe weather if debris blocks the entrance or communication is limited. Storm shelter registries are used by emergency personnel to assist with post-storm search and rescue efforts.

Registration is simple and only takes a few minutes.

Register your storm shelter here: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/f99b46a4e216454599902de75be7ef13
Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with friends, family, and neighbors.
