Disasters can strike with little or no warning. By planning ahead, you can keep your pet as safe as possible. Use this checklist as a guide to help you organize what you will need in the event of an emergency. For further details and information, check out the American Veterinary Medical Association guidelines for owners (http://www.avma.org/disaster/saving_family.asp)
* Create an evacuation plan for your pets and practice it.
* Assemble an animal evacuation kit in addition to your family's kit, to include:
- A crate (labeled with pet's name) and bedding for each pet
- A 2-week supply of food and water for each pet, manual can opener, dishes
- Plastic bags, paper towels, newspapers, disinfectant
- A collar, leash, harness, and muzzle or guaze roll (Animals may bite if you try to help
them when they are hurt)
- ID tags
- Records, including: current medical & vaccination records and tags, current photos of each
pet, microchip numbers, copies of health certificates, and proof of ownership
