Pet Care

If you are like many people, your pet is very important to you. The likelihood that you and your animals will survive an emergency such as a fire or flood, tornado or terrorist attack depends on your emergency planning.  Some of the things you can do to prepare is assembling an animal emergency supply kit and developing a pet care buddy system with friends or neighbors.  Whether you decide to stay during an emergency or evacuate you will need to make plans for your pets in advance. Be prepared with emergency food and water for at least three days, maybe longer. Depending on the type of emergency it is also a good idea to have a pet first aid kit on hand.
