Pets & Animals in Emergency Preparedness Plan

By system - Posted on 03 August 2007

Karen Holstead has provided PREP a Pet Preparedness Checklist (PDF) "Of course the primary responsibility falls on the pet owners. Besides having a supply of food and water for your pet set aside for an emergency, next would be a kennel, cage or crate. No shelter is able to take in loose pets and let them all run together. What about medications your pet needs?"

Community Info: There will be an emergency exercise at the Bellingham Airport on September 24, 2011 for Community Emergency Response Team members who are willing to participate. This exercise involves many emergency departments in Bellingham and is a great way to participae and learn first hand the overall rescue process. For more information or to enroll, contact Andrew 945-1801.

September Tip: Remember, in any emergency or disaster, communication between family members is important and sometimes difficult. Experts suggest having an out-of-state relative or friend as a central point for all family members to connect with and leave messages. This will enable members to contact someone who is not affected by the emergency. Stay connected to stay safe.
