National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day is a reminder to include your pets in your emergency planning. 🐶🐱

Founded by FEMA in 2010, this day highlights how disasters impact animals and why preparing ahead—such as creating a pet emergency kit, planning evacuation routes, and ensuring proper identification—can save lives.

Visit our website at https://onondaga.gov/em/prepare-your-pets-for-disasters-2/ to learn the key steps you can take to prepare yourself and your animals for emergencies that can happen at any time.

Minimal changes have been made to the upcoming forecast for today and tonight. A system moving through will bring a wintry mix of snow and freezing rain mainly east of I-81, before transitioning to mainly rain during the afternoon, but will linger longer across parts of the Catskills and the Mohawk Valley. Precipitation will most likely remain as rain west of I-81.
