Pets and Emergencies
Pets and Emergencies
Emergency
planning for pets is an important part of household preparations in case of
emergency, and can greatly increase the likelihood of evacuating your pets to
safety. There are many things pet owners can do to be prepared in the event of
emergencies such as floods, cyclones or bushfires.
Ensure your pet
cat or dog is registered, micro chipped and has an identification tag and that
contact details are up-to-date on the microchip register. Make sure your pet
wears at least two forms of current identification. You may want to consider a
microchip implant, combined with tags on a collar. Also, keep the information
current if you have registered with any lost and found databases.
Check to make
sure your pet's vaccinations are up to date. Keep an extra copy of your pet's
health information in your pet disaster/emergency kit and ensure you have a
supply of animal medications if needed.
Research and
identify temporary accommodation options for your pets.
Determine where
your animal(s) will be relocated if evacuated. Keep in mind that the place may
have specific requirements e.g. boarding facilities often require that animals
are up-to-date with vaccinations.
Late evacuation
can be dangerous. To avoid unnecessary risks to you and your pets, move animals
to a safer place a soon as possible.
Be sure to place
permanent, waterproof "Pets Inside" stickers on your front and back
doors or windows to alert emergency workers that pets are in your home. If
possible, list the number and types of animals in your household. Should you be
unable to go home to retrieve your pets during a disaster, this sticker could
help rescue workers find your pets in your house.
Animals should
never be abandoned unless it is absolutely impossible to evacuate them. If you
are forced to leave your animals behind, be sure to leave them plenty of food
and water. If possible, consider evacuating your animals before the danger
arises.
Pet Disaster

Food One-to-two-week supply
of the dry or canned food your pet usually eats. (While stored, make sure to
replace the food according to expiration dates.) Also include a spoon, food
dish and, if you use canned foods, a can opener. Record your pet's eating
habits (amount and times) as well as any allergies your pet may have and keep
the record with the other paperwork in this kit. Store the food in a waterproof
and protective bag or case
Water One-to-two-week supply in
plastic containers. (Make sure to replace stored water regularly to ensure
freshness.) Include a collapsible or travel water bowl that is easy to store
