Protect Your Pet in a Disaster
Your pets rely on you to keep them safe and secure. During a disaster they may lose access to food, water, or shelter. It is important to be prepared so that when disaster strikes, you and your pets are ready for anything.
- Make a Pet Emergency Plan
- ID your pet
- Microchip your pet and have the chip activated
- Have a current photo of your pet
- Identify shelters:
- Make sure you have a secure pet carrier, leash or harness
- Make a pet emergency kit. Check out this quick list:
- Pet food
- Bottled water
- Medications
- Veterinary records
- Cat litter/pan
- Manual can opener
- Food dishes
- First aid kit and other supplies
Please remember your pets may become agitated during and after a disaster. Give them time to rest and recuperate before letting them off the leash in public, giving them free reign of your home, or walking them in highly congested areas.
