Are YOU ready for an emergency?

Two history-making hurricanes in the past week have me thinking, just how READY AM I for an emergency?

Do the basics NOW

If the thought of evacuating your home, leaving with the clothes on your back and just your pets, is overwhelming, take it in small steps.

Here are three smart moves you can make to begin preparing for a disaster or emergency.

number one

DOWNLOAD this brochure from FEMA.

It has good information about prepping your pets for emergencies. Plus, it’s free and you are encouraged to distribute the brochure to family and friends.

Write for a free window sticker.

Just fill out this form and submit it to get free decal alerts – they let rescue personnel know that pets are inside your home. The safety pack also includes an ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center magnet—a great way to keep the APCC’s (Animal Poison Control Center) toll-free emergency number and website address handy in case your Morkie gets into something he shouldn’t!
