PET EVACUATION DISASTER
PLAN
1. Have your animal evacuation and first aid kit ready and in a
specific, easy-to-access location.
2. Practicing crating your pet. It will be less stressful for both
of you if you have to evacuate.
3. Keep written directions to your home, near your phone. This will
help you to explain to emergency responders exactly how to get to
your home.
4. Identify alternate sources of food and water. This is in case you
are unable to leave your home and need to wait to be rescued.
5. Keep your vehicles full of gas.
6. Have emergency cash on hand.
7. If possible, have an emergency generator.
