Animals in Emergencies
Animals in Emergencies
Household plans must account for all members of the family and this includes your animals. Advanced preparation for your animals is as important as it is for other members of your household.
There are three essential steps that should be taken in preparation for any emergency:
Create an emergency plan
Prepare a get-away kit with provisions for your animals
Prepare a full survival kit with provisions for your animals
