Animals in Disaster Module A: Awareness and Preparedness
Animals in Disaster Module B: Community Planning
Hurricanes, floods, wildfires, hazardous material spills—disasters can strike anytime, anywhere.
If you think you will never have to evacuate because you don’t live in a flood plain, you may be tragically mistaken.
It is imperative that you make preparations to evacuate your family and your pets in any situation.
In the event of a disaster, proper preparation will pay off with the safety of your family and pets.
If You Evacuate, Take Your Pets!
The single most important thing you can do to protect your pets is to take them with you when you evacuate.
Animals left behind in a disaster can easily be injured, lost, or killed.
Animals left inside your home can escape through storm-damaged areas, such as broken windows.
Animals turned loose to fend for themselves are likely to become victims of exposure, starvation, predators, contaminated food or water, or accidents.
Leaving dogs tied or chained outside in a disaster is a death sentence.
