Inflation is when a currency decreases in value, and deflation is when a currency increases in value.

So like with Hurricane Katrina for example wouldn’t it actually be both because the natural disaster caused the damage which in turn could cause deflation because then people are going to be needing more of certain supplies, and if the natural disaster is big enough couldn’t it cause insufficient money supplies?

If you had to evacuate your home due to a natural disaster (hurricane, tornado, flood, earthquake, etc), or a man-made disaster (chemical spill, fire, gas leak, terrorist attack, etc), what would you do with your pets? Most emergency shelters make NO provisions for pets! You can’t bring a large dog, or multiple dogs just anywhere. You’d have to find another safe place for them. Many dogs were totally abandoned during Hurricane Katrina. Would your pets get abandoned if you was forced to evacuate your home?

Do you have a plan to evacuate your home, with your family and your dogs in an emergency? Do you know somebody (in another area) who could temporarily house your dogs during a disaster? Would you be willing to offer temporary housing to a friend’s dogs, or a family member’s dogs? What arrangements have you made? What would you do?

At the very least, I hope that a question like this would provoke some serious thought. Once distaster strikes, it’s too late.
Another question … Do you have an emergency kit (food, water, supplies, medications, etc) for your dog(s)? If you and your pets had to leave your home in an emergency, you’d need one. What’s in your kit?

I’m hearing about all the aid other countries are sending to Myanmar in the wake of the terrible cyclone. The USA is such an independent country. I wonder if they ever have or ever would accept for aid from another country for a natural disaster, like Hurricane Katrina?
