Having a go bag ready to go can make your situation during a storm less stressful. Here’s what to include:
– Keep a paper and digital copy of your current vaccine records and microchip number to provide proof to the authorities of current vaccines in the event you and your furry family member are separated
– Include a photograph of you and your pet together. This will help in identifying you as the pet parent
– Keep a set of feeding and water bowls in the bag as well as a supply of dog food (minimum of 3 days)
– Have a supply of any special medication your pet may need
– Collars and leashes for each pet with current ID tags
– Flashlight with backup batteries and glow sticks or reflective tape
– Have a carrier or collapsible crate ready in case you can use a vehicle to evacuate safely. Label carrier, crate, and/or Go Bag with your name and contact information
– Pet First Aid Kit
– Keep a current list of pet-friendly hotels/motels
