In Hurricane Sandy’s path? Here’s what to do if you have pets! »
HSUS has a great post with everything to do, check it out.
Things you can do right now:
- Put a collar with visible identification on your pets, including indoor-only pets
- Keep pictures of your pets on hand for identification purposes. Ideally, you should also be in the photo
- Create a pet emergency kit (see below) and refresh the items every few months
- Talk to your neighbors about how they can help your pets if you are not at home when disaster strikes
- Create a list of hotels that allow pets
- Plan on evacuating about 100 miles inland
This emergency supply kit should include:
- Three-or-more-day supply of food in airtight, waterproof container, and drinking water
- Bowls for food and water
- Current photos and physical description of your pets, including details on markings
- Medications, vaccination records and pet first aid supplies
- Comfort items such as a toy and blanket
- Small garbage bags
- For dogs include: leash, harness and a sturdy carrier large enough to use as a sleeping area
- For cats include: litter and litter box and a sturdy carrier large enough for transport
Stay safe, East Coast humans and other animals!!
