This week we added a new training to our readiness toolkit, Biohazard Detection System (BDS) Training. This is just another example of how the OKMRC trains to help our community if the unimaginable were to happen.

Happy Happy National Dog Day!!!! Murphy says give your pup some extra treats today!!!!

🐾 Happy Happy National Dog Day! 🐾
Today is a VERY important day because it’s all about celebrating dogs. And as a highly trained preparedness professional, I feel it’s my duty to remind you that dogs are a critical part of your emergency preparedness plan.

We need food. We need water. We need medications. We need our favorite toys. We need a comfy place to nap. And obviously, we NEED snacks. Lots and lots of snacks. 🦴

So while you’re celebrating your favorite four-legged family member today, take a few minutes to make sure your emergency kit is ready for them, too.

Because when disaster strikes, “I forgot the dog treats” is NOT an acceptable preparedness plan. 😎

Stay safe, stay prepared, and give your dog an extra treat today.... heck, do that EVERY day! ❤️🐾
