Identify evacuation locations
- Find places that can accommodate your pet(s) if you evacuate; consider pet-friendly hotels, kennels and/or loved ones
- Write down these locations and store them with your disaster kit
- Practice loading your animals into their carriers and your vehicle
Microchip your pets
- Microchips are the single most effective way to reunite lost pets and families
- Update your microchip registration when you move, change phone numbers or get a new emergency contact
- Secure a sturdy, legible ID tag on your pets’ collars, too
Start a buddy system
- Exchange keys and disaster plans with a neighbor who can evacuate your animals if you are not home when disaster strikes
- Give your buddy your pets’ information and your emergency contact information
- Make sure your buddy is comfortable handling your animals
Assemble a disaster kit
- Assemble a kit for each animal in your household
- Keep the kit(s) near an exit so they are easy to grab in case of an emergency
- Turn this card over for tips on what to include in your disaster kit
Take photos of you with your pet(s)
- Photos can prove ownership if you are separated from your pets
- Keep copies of the photos in your wallet and your disaster kit
- Give copies to a loved one who lives outside of your area
- Storing photos on your cell phone can also be useful
