Emergency PrepPet Safety

Keep pets in every evacuation plan - never leave them behind during a disaster.

Why Pet Emergency Planning Matters

  • Emergencies come in many forms, and they may require anything from a brief absence from your home to permanent evacuation.
  • Leaving pets out of evacuation plans can put pets, pet owners, and first responders in danger. Even if you try to create a safe place for them, pets left behind during a disaster are likely to be injured, lost, or worse. Before a disaster strikes, find out what type of shelters and assistance are available in your area to accommodate pets and include pets in your family disaster plan to keep them safe during an emergency.
  • Each type of disaster requires different measures to keep your pets safe, so the best thing you can do for yourself and your pets is to be prepared.
