Disaster Preparedness for Pets

Pet sitters know that disasters can happen anytime and anywhere and can take many different forms, from barn fires to earthquakes, from a propane line explosion to flooding from a violent storm. Any of these might necessitate evacuation.

If you have horses or other large animals, it is important to have a plan to move your animals to a safe area. A plan is even more critical if you have a large group of animals.

Do You Have a Disaster Plan?

No one is immune from the possibility of disaster. Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, fires—Wherever you live, one of these natural disasters could impact your life. And for all of us everywhere, the threat of man-made disaster continues to be a factor.

Do you know what you would do to protect your family—including the family pets—if disaster strikes?  PSI has provided pet education for pet owners on preparing for a disaster.
