I don't get why so many dogs were caged at that time of day.[/quote]

Apparently the direction staff got was to "put dogs in suites" if there was flooding. My dog died there and we had to learn this from the media, not from District Dogs. There was also no emergency preparedness training or a plan to get the dogs (or humans) out of the building in an emergency.  Maybe more dogs would have survived if they hadn't been caged with no plan for their safety.  [/quote]

That plan makes no sense when they needed to get the dogs high up. So sorry that happened to you.  [/quote]

I really don’t think the plan would have been for the amount of water they had. No one anticipates that kind of flooding.

This was a horrible event and clearly they need to investigate both the 911 system and the planning around storm water management and the tunnel project if that was involved but I don’t think we can expect dog kennels to anticipate this honestly. [/quote]

They knew and put some barriers up.  [/quote]
