While loving humans watch their ferrets happily tearing into their Christmas Gifts there will be other humans watching over them. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year (yes even on Christmas day) The WATCHERS will be watching. The WATCHERS constantly monitor weather and news checking for inpending disasters. On Christmas day the WATCHERS will be opening presents, playing with their beloved animals, eating Christmas dinner. During all the festive activity the WATCHERS will have an ear cocked toward the radio, eyes will check the Weather Channel. Should a disaster happen anywhere in the United States the WATCHERS will go into immediate action to check on Humans and their Animals in the stricken area. If help is needed The WATCHERS will activate the Disaster Response Network.
