In life, disasters can strike suddenly and without warning. Your family (including your pet) may not be together at the time of a disaster so it is important to develop an emergency plan before disaster strikes. Families can and do cope with disaster by preparing in advance and working together as a team. Knowing what to do is your best protection and your responsibility that can help you and your loved ones not only survive but do so safely.

Being prepared can help you and your family stay connected in an emergency. Planning ahead is the key to keeping yourself, your family, and your pets safe if disaster strikes.
