Pledge to Include Your Animals in Your Disaster Preparedness Plan

Disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires can require sudden evacuations from danger. Different disasters require different measures to keep your pets safe, so the best thing you can do is be prepared.

The ASPCA is a national organization that deploys by request of local authorities to assist in the aftermath of disasters. We help rescue animals and transport them to safety, set up temporary facilities to shelter and treat the animals, and place them with partner shelters once they're ready for adoption.

In 2017 alone, the ASPCA responded to six disasters including Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, plus the wildfires in California, assisting more than 37,000 animals through pre-evacuation, field rescue and post-disaster relief efforts. In addition, we work closely with local agencies across the country to help enhance their animal response capabilities through grants and training opportunities.

Take the pledge to include your animals in your disaster preparedness plan, and then use the resources from the ASPCA to complete your plan.

I PLEDGE TO:

  • Include my pets in emergency plans.
  • Take my pets with me if I have to evacuate.
  • Keep current photos of my pets on hand in case they go missing.
  • Make sure my pets wear collars with I.D. tags and are microchipped.
  • Put an alert sticker on my window so rescue personnel know I have a pet in my home.
  • Create a portable pet emergency kit with items including medical records, water, water bowls, pet food and my pet's medications.
  • Choose a designated caregiver, such as a friend or relative outside the evacuation zone, who can take care of my pet in the event I am unable.
  • Download the free ASPCA mobile app, which allows pet owners to store crucial pet records needed for boarding pets at evacuation shelters. It includes a disaster preparedness checklist.
