Prepare for your pets too!

Pet Storm Preparedness tips from SERVPRO of Tarzana and Reseda -

Most dog and cat owners don't have disaster preparedness plans for their pets. SERVPRO of Tarzana and Reseda urges you to make sure this isn’t you.

You would make a disaster kit for yourself and family, so make one for your pet. This includes medical records and medication, food and water with can openers, leashes, and carriers.

Tips:

• Bring pets indoors at the first sign of a storm. Animals can become confused and inadvertently run away from home during a disaster.
• Arrange a safe haven for you and your pets during evacuation. Do not leave pets behind.
• Store an emergency kit—with items such as pet food, bottled water, medical records, a blanket, a flashlight and leashes—as close to an exit as possible.
• Make sure all pets wear collars and tags. Also have your pet microchipped in case of a lost collar. 
• Place a rescue alert sticker to your front home to let rescuers know that there are pets inside.
• Choose a caregiver to take care of your pet in the event you are unable to.
