After
a Disaster (page3)
-
If
you notice that your pet's behavior
has changed, monitor your pet closely.
Stay away from stray pets that are
acting aggressive after an emergency.
Keep your pets on a leash and maintain
close contact. Familiar scents and
landmarks may be altered, causing confusion
and abnormal behavior.
-
If
your pet was lost, contact boarding
kennels, humane shelters and veterinary
hospitals. Also place signs or pet
emergency stickers on your door, to
notify emergency crews that you have
pets that need to be found or that
are inside your house and need to be
rescued. These stickers and signs are
available at many pet stores or for
FREE from the ASPCA (click
here to fill out the form!). Include
an address and phone number on them
of a close relative or friend that
isn’t from your area.
3.
If you find a pet, call animal
control or alternate emergency
phone numbers set up during the
disaster. The best defense against
lost animals is to have them
wear a collar with identification
tag.
Making sure your family is prepared should be the number one priority
in a disaster situation. It is also your responsibility to make sure
your pets are prepared and well taken care of. Imagine having hungry,
anxious animals running loose to compound the problems of an emergency.
Love your family and your pets!
