Having an emergency kit for your pets is just as essential as having one for your family. During any kind of disaster you should never leave your pet behind if at all possible. Being prepared with emergency supplies for your animals is just one part of being a Weather Ready Nation. We have provided a link below from FEMA that outlines how to include your pets in your emergency plans and a basic list of emergency supplies for your furry family members. ready.gov/caring-animals After talking to some of my personal friends that worked with the animal rescue and reunification effort after the Joplin tornado, the one thing they mentioned over and over again that is incredibly useful besides having your pets microchipped, is to have a recent pic of you and your pet together, to also establish identification and ownership. Additional information on preparing for and caring for your animals before, during, and after a disaster can also be found on the Humane Society of the United States website, or on the following link. --Leah KD0SZG humanesociety.org/issues/animal_rescue/tips/pets-disaster.html
