Often times, pets are overlooked in an emergency. One of the most important steps you can take to ensure the safety of your pets in an emergency or a disaster is to include them in your emergency preparedness plan. Part of that plan should include an emergency preparedness kit for your pets.

To create a pet preparedness kit, ensure the following items are readily available in a safe location:

Food (your pet’s regular food)

Water

Can opener if kit contains wet food

Leash and collar

Bowls

Medications your pet needs

Pet carrier labeled with your contact information

First aid kit

Toys, rope, and other comfort items

Pet litter and litter box if appropriate, newspapers, paper towels and plastic trash bags

Contact list of pet-friendly hotels, veterinarians, and out-of-town friends and family

Photo of your pet or ID and a photo of you with your pet

Immunization and vet records (keep both updated)
