PLATTSMOUTH ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER to HELP with RESCUE of
JOPLIN, MISSOURI PETS AFFECTED by TORNADO
Plattsmouth Animal Control Officer, Sue Baker, has received approval from the ASPCA and Plattsmouth
Police Chief to go to Joplin, Missouri to assist with animals who were stranded, misplaced or lost during
the deadly tornado that recently destroyed much of the city.
Sue will be leaving early on Thursday, June 16th, driving a mini-van she uses for her 'humane' work.
If you would like to donate any of the below items please contact Sue or Betty Henry. My numbers
are (402) 320-2882 or Betty at (402) 296-4191.
Here is a list of items that the temporary shelter in Joplin can use:
Business items such as envelopes, sharpies, printer paper, pens, etc
Bleach/cleaning supplies (no "sol" products, Lysol, Pinesol, etc. as these are toxic to cats)
Gloves
Cat litter
Toys/chewies/stuffies for dogs and cats
Dog and cat treats
Blankets/towels
Bottled water
Anything else that you think would help over 500 displaced animals.
Her space for packing supplies is pretty limited and if anyone is willing to donate to this cause,
cash and gift cards would be preferable. Gift cards for Walmart, Petsmart, Petco or any place
where they can purchase any of the above items would be great.
She asks that the money or gift cards be placed in an envelope and it's important that you mark it:
"Joplin Humane Society", along with your contact information, (name, address, phone number),
so they can appropriately acknowledge your generous gift.
Thank you for your concern for these pets.
FIDDLE WORKSHOP
The Old Avoca (Nebraska) Schoolhouse will be hosting a Fiddle Workshop with Daniel Slosberg

demonstrate and teach Metis fiddling (which includes tapping your feet at the same time), how to play
for dancers, etc. This workshop is for fiddlers and string players of any age and experience.

DUE to CONTINUING FLOOD CONDITIONS, WE'LL RUN these NOTES AGAIN...
Health Precautions to Take During a Flood
The Sarpy/Cass Health Department is advising residents that could be
affected by the expected flooding along the Missouri River to take these
precautions to protect their health.
The Health Department offers the following information for those living in
flood areas:
•Check your tetanus shot status. If you need a tetanus booster, contact
your health care provider.
•Flood water can contaminate private drinking water supplies and food
items stored in homes. Stock up on bottled water and remove food items
from basements.
•Avoid drinking water from private water wells in flooded areas until water
has been tested.
•Methods for disinfection of a flooded water well are available at the
Sarpy/Cass Health Department’s website at www.sarpycasshealthdepartment.org
•Wash your hands with soap and water after coming in contact with flood
water or items that have been contaminated by flood water.
•Avoid swimming, diving, wading, and ingesting of flood water. In an emer-
gency, private well water may be used if:
•Water is at a rolling boil for 3-5 minutes, then cooled.
•Water is treated with 8 drops or ¼ teaspoon of unscented bleach per gallon
and allowed to be mixed thoroughly and stand for 30 minutes before drinking.
Food contamination:
•Do not eat or save food items if they have come in contact with flood water.
•Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic icemaker.
Re-make ice cubes with water that has been boiled.
•Unopened cans or jars that are not dented, cracked, rusty, or with bulging
seams should be safe, but you should disinfect the top before opening it. If
you suspect your private well water has been contaminated by flooding, contact
the Sarpy/Cass Health Department at (402) 339-4334 to inquire about well water
testing. Water sampling of Community Water Systems is conducted on a routine
basis. There is currently no concern regarding contamination in these systems
related to the flooding. Those residents receiving water through a Community
Water System may contact their Water System Administrator with questions.
###
FLOODING: KNOW YOUR RISKS
Plan ahead to prepare for safety
• Find out if your home is at risk for floods and learn how a flood could affect you
and your family.
• Learn about your community’s emergency plans and evacuation routes
• Plan and practice a flood evacuation route with your family.
• Post emergency phone numbers by every phone.
• Buy a fire extinguisher and make sure your family knows where it is kept and how
to use it.
• Inform local authorities about any special needs such as the elderly, disabled or
bedridden people in your home.
• Identify potential home hazards and know how to secure or protect them before
flood strikes.
• Talk to your insurance provider about your policy and decide if you need additional
coverage. Most home-owner’s insurance does not cover flood damage.
MAKE A PLAN
• Take the time to update telephone numbers, buy emergency supplies and review
your emergency plan with your family. Your family may not be together when a flood
strikes so itis important to plan in advance.
• Discuss and decide how you will contact one another, how you will get back together
and what you will do in different situations. You may want an out of town/state contact
as localphone lines may be non-functioning or jammed during an emergency. If you or
the children have cell phones make sure that number is programmed into the contact
list.
• Emergency supplies, both in home and evacuation kit – go to www.ready.gov for
samples and tailor to your family’s needs. You can also download a booklet at
www.sarpycasshealthdepartment.org.
YOUR PETS
• Create a plan for your pets, keep in mind what is best for you is usually what is
best for your pets.
• Prepare a pet emergency supply kit and develop a pet care buddy system to ensure
your pet is safe and taken care of during a flood.
• Plan in advance where you will go if you evacuate, as pets (other than service animals)
are usually not allowed in public shelters.
• Ask friends and family outside the flood area if they can shelter your pet. • Make
sure ahead of time that all your pet’s vaccinations are up to date. Put copies in your
pet emergency kit available at www.ready.gov.
• Develop a buddy system with neighbors or friends to ensure your pet is evacuated
if you are not home and available to do it yourself. Make sure they know your pet and
the location of your pet emergency kit.

Recommendations for Immunization Following Exposure to Flood Waters
Sarpy/Cass Department of Health offers guidelines on hygiene and vaccinations
following exposure to flood waters, backed up sewage and the mud remaining
after waters have receded.
According to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, “Historically,
outbreaks of communicable disease are uncommon after flood emergencies. Flood
waters may be contaminated with fecal material from overflowing sewage systems
or from agricultural operations such as feedlots, etc.” Being difficult to see through,
flood waters also may carry or camouflage debris that could cause injury. While skin
contact with flood water may not, in itself, present a serious health risk, there is some
risk of disease from cuts or sores that are exposed to flood water. Any break in the
skin should be kept as clean as possible by washing with soap and clean water to
prevent infections.
Recommendations for tetanus wound management as follows:
• Anyone with a clean, minor wound with exposure to contaminated flood waters and
has an unknown history or less than 3 doses needs a dose of tetanus (Td or Tdap).
• If the individual has 3 or more doses, and the wound is minor and clean, he/she
would need a dose ONLY if it has been 10 years since the last dose.
• All other wounds would require a booster dose if more than 5 years since the last
dose. Individuals are encouraged to talk to their physician regarding the vaccine.
Across the state’s flooded areas, tetanus boosters are being offered by public health
departments to public safety workers and 1st responders, following those same guide-
lines. However, community members should consult with and, if necessary, receive the
vaccine from their providers. Other precautions to take are to keep children out of the
water, always wear closed-toe footwear and long pants while working in the water or
mud and shower with hot water and soap afterwards, taking special care to clean
beneath finger nails. Increase hand-washing for you and your family and keep your
hands away from your face. These measures will reduce your risk of infection from
contaminated waters.
If you have any questions regarding this matter please contact one of our three Public
Health Nurses:
Monica Ulses, 402-339-4334 x203 or mulses@sarpy.com
Carol Timm, 402-339-4334 x211 or ctimm@sarpy.com
