Emergency Preparedness Guide for Pet Owners

Download a copy of a brochure prepared by Homeland Security, ASPCA, American Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Humane Society.
From the brochure:
"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."
