In addition to the $100,000 donated to the Canadian Red Cross yesterday, RSA has announced it will match donations from RSA employees across Canada to top up contributions to relief agencies.

"We understand the devastation caused by severe weather events and our hearts go out to those affected," says RSA President & CEO Rowan Saunders.

We know that clean-up and rebuild will be a long process but people need help now and we hope this donation will help to provide some immediate relief."

These contributions to disaster relief are in addition to donations for local humane and rescue organizations by Pets Plus Us and the Urban Animal program which provides automated recovery services at no charge for the next 30 days. Earlier today the High River Emergency Ops Centre indicated 500 dogs and cats had already been rescued from affected homes.

Free Recovery Services for Pets Affected by Alberta Floods

A complimentary identification and recovery service including a lifetime animal registration, lost and found searches and picture posters are available to all those owning or finding pets in the areas affected by the Alberta floods. Recovery experience shows that disruption to environment and transportation events are the two most common causes associated with lost pets. 

The partners of the Urban Animal Initiative believe that every pet family deserves a positive pet experience including peace of mind and lifetime protection regardless of the challenges that come their way. For the next 30 days pet families can access the AnimalTRACS(tm) system without charge.
