Tip #1: Assemble a Pet Emergency Kit
Make sure this kit is easily accessible and includes:
- A pet first aid kit with any necessary medications.
- A three-day supply of food (in a waterproof container) and water.
- Collars with current ID tags, and consider microchipping for permanent identification.
- A safety harness and leash.
- Sanitation items.
- Rescue Pet Decals to alert rescuers to pets inside your home.
- Comfort toys and blankets for evacuation.
Tip #2: Keep a Photo of Your Pets
Having a picture on hand can help rescuers quickly identify and reunite you with your pets if you become separated.
Tip #3: Familiarize Your Pets with Carriers or Crates
Pets often associate carriers with vet visits, which can cause stress. Let them play or relax in the carrier with some treats to make future transitions smoother.
Tip #4: Know Your Pets’ Hiding Places
Identify where your pets hide both inside and outside the house. At the first sign of a disaster, consider confining them to one room in case you need to leave quickly.
Tip #5: Develop a Family Emergency Plan
- Outline an evacuation plan, including how to transport your pets.
- Identify nearby shelters, veterinary hospitals, and hotels that accept pets during emergencies.
- Establish a pet care buddy system with friends or family who can take your pets if needed.
- Understand the types of disasters likely to affect your area, and have extra supplies of food and water if you need to wait out evacuation orders.
- Always try to take your pets with you if you have to evacuate.
