Emergency preparedness isn't just for humans.

Pet Storm Preparedness tips from SERVPRO of Tarzana and Reseda -

Did you know that 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 should make a disaster kit for yourself and family. While you're at it make one for your pets too. (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 an 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.
