If you and your PETS need to be evacuated, what would you do?
The single most important thing you can do to protect your pets is to take them with you.
Even if you plan to return in a few hours, take your pets along for the ride. Too often animal owners intend to return home only to be deterred by the forces of nature.
We recommend that you assemble disaster supplies and have a plan for what to do before, during and after emergencies.
Taking preparatory action can insure that you are ready and in control to face a disaster.
Have a current copy of your pet’s RABIES vaccination in the glove box of your vehicle.
Take a copy of your pet health re-cords as your vet may also be evacuating.
Keep a spare leash and collar in your vehicle including an identification tag which includes your cell number on the collar (remember your home phone won’t help)
Crate/exercise pen is recommended for a longer-term stay.
Evacuate with a minimum of three days’ supply of medications and pet food.
Have photographs of your pets in the event you become separated.
Include a FIRST AID KIT, flashlight, batteries, portable radio, and a manual.
