Pledge to create a disaster plan for your pets!

From earthquakes to wildfires, living in the Los Angeles area comes with its fair share of potential emergencies. Creating a disaster plan is one of the most important things you can do to prepare yourself and your family for a crisis, but don't forget your pets!

During a disaster, your furry family members will need your love and protection more than ever. Having a pet disaster plan in place will help them cope in the chaos of an emergency and can even mean the difference between life and death.

There are many simple and potentially life-saving steps you can take to get started on creating a disaster plan for your pets. Ensure they are micro-chipped, have up-to-date tags, and are current on their vaccinations. During a disaster, you'll need a well-stocked emergency preparedness kit including essentials like 3 weeks of food and water, blankets, a pet first aid kit, waste baggies and litter, and more.
