Hi all
 
I've discovered two resources that may be of interest to any ferret owner,
but to shelters in particular:
 
1. The United Animal Network/Emergency Animal Rescue Service
(http://www.uan.org/programs/ears/) offers Disaster Preparedness Training
Workshops.  Details are available at
http://www.uan.org/programs/ears/workshops.htm
 
2. The Federal Emergency Management Agency offers an huge manual on the
subject of "Animals in Disaster."  The two-part manual actually comprises a
course offered by the Emergency Managment Institute.  Go to
http://www.fema.gov/EMI/crslist.htm to download the *free* course books
(IS-10 and IS-11).
 
These programs would be great for clubs too.  You can actually receive a
discount on the UAN/EARS course if multiple people from your organization
attend the same workshop.
 
Happy ferreting!
