Have you planned for an emergency such as a terrorist attack or natural disaster? With all of these

PREPARE

“If you are like millions of animal owners nationwide, your pet is an important member
of your household. The likelihood that you and your animals will survive an emergency
such as a fire or flood, tornado or terrorist attack depends largely on emergency
planning done today. Some of the things you can do to prepare for the unexpected,
such as assembling an animal emergency supply kit and developing a pet care buddy
system, are the same for any emergency. Whether you decide to stay put in an
emergency or evacuate to a safer location, you will need to make plans in advance for
your pets. Keep in mind that what’s best for you is typically what’s best for your
animals.” From
