Emergency Evacuation Checklist - Plan Ahead!!

Preparation can take the panic out of an emergency situation.

Prepare an Evacuation Kit for your animals now - before diseaster strikes.

Food- Store at least a one-week supply for each animal. Rotate your supply every two months. Keep a spoon, can opener and spare food bowl.

Water - Store a least one-week supply for each animal. Rotate your supply every two months. Keep a spare water bowl in the kit. Collapsible water bowls take up little space.

Identification - Keep a collar and tag on each animal: microchipping is best because it’s permanent. Keep a current photo of each animal in your kit, with yourself in the picture to prove ownership. See reverse for health and ID records.

Medications/First Aid - Prepare a basic first aid kit and buy a small first aid book. Includde at least one week of any needed maintenance medications. Prepare a collar tag with medical conditions/needs. See http://www.uan.org/index.cfm?navId=36 for sources.

Cleaning Supplies - Keep small plastic bottles of dish soap and disinfectant, paper towel, and small plastic litter bags.

Restraints - You will need harnesses, extra leashes, a collapsible crate or kennel, a tie-out stake or cable run kit, and blankets or towels.
