If you are faced with an emergency situation involving your pet, it is important to take steps to ensure their safety. For instance, gather up your pets’ essentials like food, medication and supplies and place them in a carrier. Then make sure to bring along some additional items such as water, medications, supplies and documentation of vaccinations in case you need to evacuate. Additionally try to find the nearest local veterinarian or animal hospital beforehand and keep their numbers handy. Knowing how to transport your pet safely in an emergency situation is also very important - don’t forget that if possible a carrier is often the best option for getting your pet from one location to another safely! Lastly, always keep up-to-date on news reports so that you know when/if it’s safe for you or a rescue team to go back home.

In the event of an emergency, the best way to care for your pet is to keep them contained in a secure area, ensure that they have enough water and food (if applicable), and make sure that any medications or veterinary information is easily accessible. If you are evacuating your home with your pet during an emergency situation, it's important to have an identification collar/band on them and ensure they are wearing up-to-date vaccinations tags.
