Disaster Preparedness

 

Riding Out Disasters At Home

If you plan to ride out the disaster at home, identify the safest place for your pet in the house during the emergency. Never leave your pet unattended.

  • Bring pets inside immediately.
  • Put your evacuation kit in a safe, accessible location.
  • Make sure startled pets can't escape.
  • Separate dogs and cats.
  • Stay clear of windows, fireplaces and appliances. Keep out of the kitchen.

Check out our Annual Health Checklist for other important pet health tips and a vaccination schedule.
