Disaster & Emergency Planning Tips from Butte Humane Society ...

From Butte Humane Society (Chico, California 95928)

When disaster strikes, will you be ready? What about your animals? Disaster preparedness is the key to ensuring that every member of your family makes it safely through large-scale emergencies such as wildfires, floods, and earthquakes.

North Valley Animal Disaster Group (Chico, California 95927) is here to help. HOTLINE: (530) 895-0000

The following list of recommended items has been developed to help you help your pets.

  • Take your pet with you. If you must evacuate your house, do not leave your pet behind. Once the roadblocks go up you may not be allowed back into town. If it isn?t safe for you to stay, it isn?t safe for your pet either.
  • Make a list of friends and relatives who could care for your pet for an extended period of time if you lose your home.
  • Create a list of boarding facilities within a 100-mile radius of your home. Identify nearby hotels that accept pets and under what circumstances.
  • Ask your local animal shelter if they have an evacuation plan for animals, and if they would be able to care for your specific type of pet during an emergency.
  • Have your pet microchipped for easy identification.
