NATIONAL PET PREPAREDNESS MONTH  
  
June is National Pet Preparedness Month. Here’s how to make sure your pets and livestock are ready for emergencies:  
  
For Pets:  
• Make an emergency plan for your pets. Practice what you’ll do if you need to leave quickly.  
• Check your pet’s emergency supplies. Replace old food, water, and medicine.  
• If you have to leave your home, bring your pets with you. Only leave them behind if you have no other choice.  
• Ask neighbors or friends to help with pets if you can’t get home.  
• During evacuation warnings, put collars and harnesses on your pets and keep them in a safe room so you can grab them quickly.  
• Find out which shelters or hotels allow pets before an emergency happens.  
• Make sure your pets have ID tags and updated microchips. Keep a copy of their vaccine records in your Go Bag.  
• Make a pet emergency kit: leash, carrier, food, water, medicine, sanitation supplies, ID, and a photo of your pet.  
• Never leave pets alone in cars or tied up outside.  
• If you must leave pets at home, leave plenty of food and water and put a sign on your door with the number and type of pets inside.  
• Pets may act differently after a disaster. Watch them closely.  
  
For Livestock:  
• If you get a level 2 evacuation warning, leave with your livestock right away. Start getting ready at level 1.  
• Post emergency contact numbers on barns or fences. Mark your phone number on your animals if you have to let them go.  
• Store extra feed in a different place in case you can’t get home.  
• Work with neighbors to make an evacuation plan.  
• Make a kit with halters, first aid, water, and papers that prove you own your animals.
