It’s a beautiful Sunday as we start the second week of 2014 National Preparedness Month!

“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”

#SundayFunday right?

This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Know How To plan for specific needs before a Disaster.

#7: I have 3 days of food/water including meds & toys in my dog’s ready-go kit. #NatlPrep #Prepared2014

My immediate family includes my dog too…so I want to make sure she is prepared and can carry her own stuff.

Included in her pet preparedness kit includes a 3×5 notecard with

• her name
• her basic information (breed, name, phone, medications)
• owner information (our names, address, phone, emails, twitter handles)
• her vet name and contact information
• vaccination records
• her backup dog tags
• and a 24-hour emergency vet clinic with emergency surgery capability

You can create your own pet preparedness list by using the information found here.

Good girl Kacy!

This year, make sure you include all your pets in your preparedness efforts because they have specific needs in a disaster.
