Caring for your Pets
The best way to protect your family from the effects of a disaster is to have a disaster plan. If you are a pet owner, that plan must include your pets. For the best results your plan must include known shelters, pet medical records, and an emergency pet kit.
It is important to know that many shelters and transports will not allow pets. Leaving pets behind can be traumatic. Often pets left behind results in their being injured, lost, or worse. The best way to protect your pets is to evacuate them with you. However, this takes planning. Prepare today for the when you and your pets may have to leave your home.
