Before Disaster Strikes! IF IT IS NOT SAFE FOR YOU TO REMAIN AT HOME, IT IS NOT SAFE FOR YOUR PET TO REMAIN AT HOME!
GOOD DOG! DON’T LET YOUR DOG LOSE THEIR GOOD MANNERS, PRACTICE BASIC OBEDIENCE COMMANDS ON A ROUTINE BASIS – KNOWING HOW TO “COME AND STAY,” CAN SAVE THEIR LIVES!
HAVE A PET CRATE! CORRECTLY-SIZED PET CRATE FOR EACH PET, TO DETERMINE IF YOUR CRATE IS THE CORRECT SIZE - YOUR PET SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMFORTABLY STAND UP AND TURN AROUND INSIDE OF THEIR CRATE. IF YOU HAVE A LARGE PET, YOUR CRATE SHOULD BE COLLAPSIBLE SO THAT IT WILL FIT IN YOUR VEHICLE.
ID YOUR PET! IN ADDITION TO MICROCHIPPING YOUR PET, MAKE SURE YOUR PET ALWAYS WEARS A PROPERLY FITTED COLLAR WITH RABIES, LICENSE AND ID TAGS – NOT ALL SHELTERS CAN READ MICROCHIPS!
AWAY FROM HOME? IN CASE YOUR EMERGENCY HAPPENS AWAY FROM HOME - KEEP AN EXTRA LEASH AND A COPY OF VACCINATION RECORDS FOR EACH PET, IN YOUR VEHICLE!
PREPARE A 72-HOUR DISASTER KIT AND PLAN: FOR YOU AND YOUR PET – TO LEARN HOW, VISIT READY.GOV. (En Español) LISTO.GOV.
DURING SEVERE WEATHER SEASON: BRING YOUR PETS INDOORS WHEN A SEVERE WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED, AND KNOW YOUR PET’S HIDING PLACES – SHOULD SUDDEN SEVERE WEATHER CAUSE THEM TO SEEK SHELTER, INSIDE YOUR HOUSE AND OUTDOORS!
DETERMINE IN ADVANCE: KNOW WHERE THE SAFEST PLACE IN YOUR HOUSE IS FOR YOU AND YOUR PET DURING A DISASTER (PREFERABLY AWAY FROM WINDOWS!).
AFTER A DISASTER: ALWAYS KEEP YOUR PET LEASHED AFTER A DISASTER. SMELLS AND LOSS OF RECOGNIZABLE LANDMARKS CAN CAUSE THEM TO BECOME DISORIENTED AND LOST! WALKING THROUGH DEBRIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO THEIR PAWS!
ALWAYS REMEMBER....WHEN DISASTER STRIKES…..EVACUATE WITH YOUR PET! |
