Pet Health & Safety > Protecting Your Pet During a Disaster
So many news stations carry stories of pets not surviving disasters (whether natural or man-made). Obviously in the event of a disaster, the safety of the human family members is of primary importance, but what can you do with your pet in the event of an evacuation? Here are some suggestions:
* Locate a safe place for your pets before a disaster strikes. Evacuation shelters generally do not accept animals.
* Check with hotels in your area to see if they accept animals and what the restrictions are.
* Inquire at your local animal shelter, as to their boarding policy.
* Check with family members and the possibility of temporary 'foster care'.
* Don't forget the following items for your pet: carrier (especially for cats), food/water bowls, litter and litter box, leashes, food and water supply in plastic containers.
And if you have to leave your pet behind, be sure and bring it inside, securing it in a well ventilated room, such as a bathroom. Leave enough food for three days, as well as plenty of water. Make sure you leave the water in containers that aren't easily tipped over. Make sure that they have proper identification. Don't confine dogs and cats together. Also, place a note on your front door telling anyone what pets are in the house and where they're located.
If you have to leave a bird behind, leave it's food in self-regulating dispensers, as they must eat daily. Secure their cage so it wonÕt swing or fall. Cover the cage with a thin cloth or sheet to provide security and filtered light.
Keep a photo of your pet in case you become separated and be sure they are always wearing their I.D. tag.
