Pet Safety

Prepare Now! Learn How! 

Pets are a part of our families and including them in an emergency plan is essential to maintaining their safety. During an emergency situation, it is important to know how to keep our animal companions safe.

Pet Emergency Kits: 

• Food, portable water, bowls, paper towel and a can opener 
• Blanket and a small toy
• Sturdy leash/harness
• Cat litter/pan and plastic bags
• Carrier for your pet
• Medications and medical records (including vaccinations)
• Current photo of your pet
• Current ID tag with your phone number and the name/phone number of your veterinarian
• Copy of the license
• Ask any friends and relatives outside your immediate area who would be able to shelter your pets in an emergency
• Prepare a list of boarding facilities and veterinarians who could shelter animals in an emergency (include a 24-hour phone number).
