During National Preparedness Month, the Los Angeles Fire Department reminds you...The simple steps of disaster preparedness can benefit our furry and feathered friends as well. The READY.GOV website includes helpful information for people and their pets, including how to create a special kit for animal emergencies and evacuation.
Along with storing extra food, water and first aid supplies for your pet, now is a good time to reach out to your veterinarian, to know for certain what is best for your household pets, horses and livestock when disaster strikes.
Dogs may be man's best friend, but due to health regulations, most emergency shelters cannot house animals. With a little planning, your pet need not be left behind, but could be taken to a predesignated friend or facility during an emergency.
The time to plan for you and your pets is now.
