12 Pet Sitter s WORLD July/August 2015 Pages 18-21
13 PSI s 2015 Pet Sitter World Educational Conference & Expo
14 Can you gather all pets into carriers? Do you have enough carriers? Are all pets wearing ID? If kitty escapes, do you have a current photo?
15 Where are you going to go? Does everyone know where to meet up? Is your gas tank at least ½ full? Do you have emergency money in small bills? What about your pet s medical records, food, litter pans, cleaning supplies, needs for pocket pets, birds and other species? What about supplies for the two-legged family members?
16 What if you aren t home Do you have designated caregivers that can evacuate your pets? Are YOU your clients designated caregivers? If so, you ll want to make sure they have all the supplies you ll need as you can t possibly have enough for all your clients pets. First responders need to know you are a designated caregiver... Wallet card and Pet Alert Sticker
17 The Facts million humans in the US as of million pets 11 million in California 1.3 million in NYC 200,000 dogs in Austin (not including homeless) 2.8 million in South Carolina* 68% of all US households have a pet *PetSmart Charities formula (1 dog for every 4 residents/1 cat for every 3 residents)
18 People lost their lives in Katrina because they were told to leave their animals behind. Tens of thousands of animals became homeless or perished. Since then According to a Zogby International poll, 61% say that would refuse to evacuate without their pets.
19
20 You already plan ahead...

22
23 Be Prepared works for the Scouts, and it s a motto we should carry into our adult lives.
24 Although it is difficult to teach someone not to get stressed, being prepared can help lessen panic that sets in when the worst happens.

35 PETS Act (Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act) Requires local and state emergency preparedness operational plans are in place for pets and service animals in the aftermath of a major disaster Signed into law on October 6, 2006
36 California AB450 (2006) Requires an animal plan be incorporated in to the OA (Operational Area) Emergency Response Plan
37 Disaster plans need to be flexible, as disasters rarely happen as planned and can change from moment to moment.
38 GOOD NEWS Of those that have a plan 65% include their pets.
39 BUT Less than half of American households HAVE an emergency plan! o Those more likely to have an emergency plan: Live in the West: 47% Married: 48% Live in a Rural Area: 53% o Those least likely to have an emergency plan: Live in the East: 40% Single: 36% Live in a Large City: 40%

47 Buddy system This could be YOU PET SITTERS In case you re not home when disaster strikes, ask a trusted neighbor to check on your animals. Exchange vet information and file permission slips with the vet authorizing them to get emergency treatment for your animal Make sure your neighbor has house key and willing to take care of your pets Introduce them to your pets prior to the disaster Choose specific location to meet if unable to return home after the disaster. Provide second contact number if designated meeting place is not available.
48 2. Evacuation Plan - Develop & Practice Make sure everyone knows where to meet and can handle all animals If you live in an apartment, make sure your animals are on record with management and are able to evacuate via the stairwell. Keep written directions to your home near your telephone. Keep your gas tank half full at all times.

52 If you are told to evacuate by local officials, leave immediately! Wear sturdy shoes and appropriate clothing. Take your emergency supplies for yourself, family members and pets Follow instructions of public safety officials and use authorized travel routes. Lock home, if possible. Leave a note telling others when you left and where you are going. Once you are safe, call your out-of-state contact and tell them where you are.
53 PLAN - PREPARE PRACTICE Have a written plan posted in your home that everyone has read and participated in writing. Put together a disaster kit that includes the items you need and it easily accessible. Have drills that all family members participate in and know their roles.

65 PAWparedness Bag/Crate for pets, Stakes/Tie-outs
66 Sturdy animal carriers for each pet Practice crate training with your pet(s). A pillow case can be used to evacuate a cat quickly, but must be placed in a carrier as soon as possible.

72 Several locations in the event supplies are un-retrievable when the ground shakes, the flames rise or the mud slides.
73 When Disaster Strikes, Your pet is entirely dependent on you! Even if you think you will be gone a few days, take your pets with you. Animals that are turned loose or left behind to fend for themselves are likely to become victims of exposure, starvation, contaminated food/water or injury.
74 Bring pets into house at first warning, and confine them so you can leave quickly.
75 Think: Worst Case Scenario If you think there will be only minor damage or disruption in services, assume that there will be major damage and indefinite loss of local lifelines.
76 Your pets are not safe alone! Pets become stressed during in-house confinement, so consider crating them for their safety and comfort.
77 Never leave them behind in a crate or carrier. They will be rendered helpless until you return or someone else reaches them.
78 After the Disaster
79 Survey the area inside and outside your home to identify sharp objects, dangerous materials, contaminated water, downed power lines, other hazards or dangerous wildlife. Examine your animals closely, and contact your veterinarian immediately if you observe injuries or signs of illness.
80 Realize Familiar scents and landmarks may have changed, and this can confuse your animals. Behavior of pet could change following a disaster due to stress.,normally quiet and friendly pets may become aggressive or defensive, so observe For changes. Pets sense danger as can hide (especially cats). Lost animals could be sick or dangerous, and often pack up.
81 Release pets indoors only. Outdoors they could encounter dangerous wildlife and debris Food is best in small servings, and keep HYDRATED! Allow uninterrupted rest/sleep for all animals (including HUMANS) to recover from the trauma and stress.
82 If animals are lost, check with animal control and animal shelters daily (twice daily if possible). Post lost animal notices and notify local animal control, animal shelters, veterinarians, and your neighbors of any lost animals (utilize online resources for lost and found animals, i.e.
83 Wildfires
84 Once underway, Wildfires can consume millions of acres and change directions. Plan several escape routes for you and your pets in the event the flames block your path.
85 Create a fire break around your home by clearing away vegetation, especially dead brush, about 30 feet from all structures.
86 Monitor your pets for burns and smoke inhalation.
87 Knowing how to perform rescue breathing could save your dog or cat s life!
88
89 NO advanced warning. NO time for last minute precautions.
90 Never position dog runs, CATios, crates or enclosures underneath objects that could fall during a tremor.
91 Add a pair of bolt cutters to your disaster kit in case damaged cages or fencing need opening.
92 Know where to turn off the gas to your house, barn or kennels.
93 Should an earthquake occur, CONFINE your pets. Pets that escape sometimes return at mealtime, but there are no guarantees!
94 Be prepared to handle cut and burned paws, know how to splint broken bones and stop bleeding in humans and animals alike.
95 Floods & Mudslides
96 It is always better to err on the side of caution and evacuate early. If it is a false alarm, you and your pets have practiced a meaningful drill instead of the real thing.
97 Never leave any animal behind or certainly don't tie up an animal if flood waters threaten. You can not anticipate how high water may rise, so even birds in cages could perish.
98 Danger of disease after a flood. Keep pets away from standing water. Have a good fresh supply of water on hand for everyone as even tap water may not be safe if contaminated water has entered the drinking supply.
