BEFORE AND WHEN EVACTUATING, KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO GO
IMPORTANT! The safest place for your pet is to be with YOU! If conditions
are not safe for you, then it’s not a safe place for your pet either! Always
follow all evacuation orders and NEVER leave your pet behind at home.
Go to www.redcross.org/get-help to find a
list of open emergency shelters in your area. Call ahead for guidance on safe
pet sheltering options for both you and your pet.
DON’T FORGET IMPORTANT PAPERWORK TO HELP PROVE OWNERSHIP TO ENSURE YOUR PET’S CARE!
TIP! Create a folder on your mobile phone with photos of these records so they are always accessible.
- Current photograph of you and your pet together to show to authorities in case you and your pet are separated.
- Medical records that indicate dates of vaccinations and your pet’s microchip ID number.
- List of any medications your pet takes and why.
- Proof ownership, including copies adoption/ purchase paperwork, registration information, microchip enrollment confirmation.
AT THE FIRST MENTION OF A PENDING DISASTER
- Bring your pets inside so you won’t have to search for them if you need to quickly evacuate.
- Make sure your pet’s collar is securely fastened with legible collar ID tags.
- Have your Portable Supply Kit ready to GRAB-AND-GO with supplies needed for you and your pet. Consider making duplicate bags — just in case!
- Call emergency shelters ahead of time to confirm pet friendly accommodations.
- Confirm your contact information is up to date with AKC Reunite.
