News Article - Pets Need Emergency Kits Too

Quote:
"The one thing we've learned, especially from Katrina, is if you don't make provisions for people to take their animals, people will stay in the impact zone with their animals," said Dr. Paul Williams of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency.

And Katrina also taught emergency officials that the old instructions to leave pets at home with three days of food isn't viable.

"Now we tell people, if at all possible, they should take their pets with them if they evacuate," Williams said.

But that takes a bit of planning. GEMA officials recommend people make up an emergency kit for their pets containing the following items:

• At least three days worth of food and water in airtight, waterproof containers.

• An extra supply of pets' medicines, as well as their medical records, kept in a waterproof container.

• A pet first aid kit.

• Two collars and leashes — with ID tags— for each pet.

• Crate or other sturdy carrier.

• A good picture of your pet, and a picture of you with your pet.

• A list of local emergency animal hospitals as well as pet-friendly hotels and shelters.


The
National Hurricane Center's Pet Plan Website has some other good suggestions as well.
