How To Keep Your Pet Safe in Emergencies – Interview
Natural disasters can strike at any time, and it’s important for families to have a plan in place to keep all their loved ones safe, including their pets. When the call to evacuate arrives, families can be left in a panic over what to prioritize and how to act, especially when it comes to their pets.

- How should pet owners be prepared in case of emergency?
- What should pet owners keep in their “pet-emergency go-kits”?
- What kind of emergencies should pet owners be prepared for?
- What should pet owners do if they become separated from their pets during natural disaster?
- How can local animal shelters help families prepare for, or respond to, an emergency so that their pet is taken care of during a crisis?
