WILL YOUR ANIMAL COMPANIONS BE PROTECTED IN A FIRE, WINTER STORM, OR OTHER
DISASTER?

ShareTweetPin

What would happen to your beloved animal companions if a winter storm, a fire, a
hurricane, a tornado, an earthquake, a flood, or another natural or
human-made disaster were to strike tomorrow?



Review these tips to keep all your family members safe.


BEFORE AN EMERGENCY STRIKES

 * Have an animal emergency kit readily available. The kit should include a
   harness and leash or a carrier as well as bottled water, food and water
   bowls, dry and canned food, and a copy of your animal companions’ medical
   records. If you have a cat, have litter and a small litter tray ready to go.
   Coats will keep dogs comfortable in cold weather, secure harnesses can help
   prevent them from getting loose on walks, and booties will protect their
   sensitive paw pads from the frozen ground. Keep walks short in cold weather,
   especially for shorthaired dogs.
 * Make sure that all your animals have collars or harnesses with
   identification. Keep a current photo of your animal companion for
   identification purposes, just as you would for a child.
 * Place PETA’s emergency window stickers near your front and back doors and on
   side windows in case a weather emergency or fire strikes when you are not
   home. These stickers will alert rescuers to animals in your home who need
   help.


 * In the case of winter storms, bring animals indoors! Companion animals should
   always live indoors. “Backyard dogs” and “outdoor cats”—like those featured
   in Breaking the Chain—often go without adequate food, water, shelter, and
   veterinary care.


DURING AN EMERGENCY

 * There’s little to no time to evacuate during severe storms or tornadoes.
   Never leave animals chained or penned outdoors where they have no protection
   from strong winds, flying debris, and collapsing structures. Keep your animal
   companions with you if it becomes necessary to move to a stronger structure
   or take shelter underground. Hold out in a small interior room such as a
   closet or hallway. If this isn’t available, take cover under a heavy table or
   desk. Stay away from windows and doors or walls leading outside.
 * If you are being evacuated, never leave animals behind. There is no way of
   knowing what may happen to your home while you are away, and you may not be
   able to return for days or even weeks. Animal companions left behind may
   become malnourished or dehydrated or be crushed by collapsing walls. They may
   drown or escape in panic and become lost.
 * Know your destination ahead of time. Not all emergency shelters accept
   animals, but many hotels take animals (most suspend “no pet” policies during
   disasters, thankfully).
 * Place small animals in secure carriers. Dogs should be leashed and wearing
   harnesses. Be sure to take the animal emergency kit that you’ve prepared.
 * If you’re sheltering in place during a winter storm or another emergency,
   remember to protect all of your loved ones. Dogs and other companion animals
   are no better equipped to survive freezing temperatures or extreme weather
   conditions than humans are. They suffer terribly from frostbite, and they can
   die of exposure. Bring them indoors before a storm hits—not doing so could be
   illegal, as anyone who leaves animals outside to suffer in severe weather may
   be prosecuted. Good Samaritans who see animal companions kept chained or
   penned outside 24/7 or without adequate shelter from the elements should note
   the animals’ exact locations and alert local law-enforcement authorities
   immediately.




IF AUTHORITIES FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR ANIMALS BEHIND

 * Never turn animals loose outdoors—they can’t survive “on instinct.”
   Domesticated animals rely on their human companions for many things and are
   totally helpless and vulnerable outside, especially in bad weather. Instead,
   leave them in a secure area inside your home with access to the upper floors
   so that they can escape rising floodwaters.
 * Leave out at least a 10-day supply of water. Fill every bowl, pan, and
   Tupperware container that you have with water, then set them on the floor or
   on counters, as just one container may spill. Fill sinks, too. If your toilet
   bowl is free of chemical disinfectants, leave the toilet seat up to provide
   animals with one more source of water, but do not make that the only source.
 * Leave out at least a 10-day supply of dry food. Canned food will go bad
   quickly.
 * If you can’t get to your home, contact a reliable neighbor or friend to check
   on the animals and get them out, if possible. Provide specific instructions
   on care.

By planning now, you can make sure that all your loved ones can weather any
storm. Remember: The question isn’t whether a disaster will strike—it’s when.

involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should
animals have rights?” READ MORE
