A pet should be part of the household evacuation plan. CDC recommends assembling pet-specific supplies, veterinary records, identification and contact details in advance; do not assume every emergency shelter accepts pets.

1. List each pet's species, usual food, medication needs and an appropriately sized carrier.
2. Prepare sealed water, food and feeding dishes and rotate supplies before expiry. CDC suggests two weeks of food and water in a pet disaster kit; build the supply gradually as your circumstances allow.
3. Ask a veterinarian about a safe reserve of prescription medication and keep instructions plus copies of vaccination and medical records in a waterproof container.
4. Check collar ID tags and keep registered microchip contacts current. Store a recent photograph showing you with your pet.
5. Keep carriers, leashes, harnesses, waste bags and any needed cat litter in an accessible, safe location near the exit.
6. Practice moving pets into carriers and following evacuation routes. Identify shelters, vets and temporary accommodation that accept animals before an emergency; prioritize everyone's safety.
