Pet Evacuation Awareness

Pet Evacuation Awareness

Would you leave your pets behind if you were evacuated? Of course not. In a disaster, seconds count and that’s why it is critical that you and your pets’s Go Bags are ready. If you need to evacuate you’ll need to have enough essentials for one to three days. Preparing a Pet Go Bag ahead of time will be a huge help.
