5-Minute Message: Pet Kits
In every disaster, some people will evacuate with their pets, stay behind because of livestock or animals, or risk their lives and disobey orders to go back for animals. Animals are clearly linked with human safety, wellness and well-being. See how many of the items below you can pull together for yourself or an animal lover in your life.
Kit contents: food, water, feeding dish, medications, leash or restraint, toy, medical info, date/ place where animal was micro chipped, pictures of pet with owners, description of animal with identifying marks, carrying/transport case, list of animal caregivers, and a map to where animals can be taken in an emergency.
Make sure neighbors and friends know what to do in an emergency for your pets. Consider posting animal rescue signs on your door.
Bonus: Check for a local animal ambulance service!
