Including pets in the family Disaster Preparedness Plan is essential!
Disaster can strike at a moment's notice. Hurricanes, floods, mud slides, wildfires, earthquakes, and tornadoes are all events that can seriously impact families and their pets!

Pets can easily get separated from their owners during the chaos of a disaster. Many emergency shelters do not accept pets, forcing owners to leave pets behind or bring them to an animal shelter. Investigate which hotels in the region are pet friendly and keep a list of several in case you are unable to bring pets to an emergency shelter.
During disasters so many animals need to be rescued, transported, and sheltered. Sadly, a large number of these pets may never be reunited with their families and will eventually be put up for adoption.

Animal shelters can quickly become overwhelmed with the amount of pets they take in during a disaster. That's why the Hill's Disaster Relief Network, an extension of the Hill's Food, Shelter & Love® program, was created. They are able to respond quickly with delivery of pet food to communities impacted by disaster. This helps ensure shelters have enough food to care for the many animals impacted by the disaster. It also ensures that shelter animals will continue to receive healthy, balanced nutrition until they can be reunited with their families.

😺 Since 2013, the Hill's Disaster Relief Network has delivered free pet food to over 1,000 shelters and veterinary clinics across the U. S.
😺 The Hills Disaster Relief Network has donated over $300 million worth of Hill's Science Diet brand pet food to communities in need, and helped over 8 million pets find new homes!
They have responded to shelters impacted by floods in Colorado, fires in Idaho and Arizona, the fertilizer plant explosion in Texas, the mudslide in Washington and tornadoes in several areas across the country. The Hill's Disaster Relief Network has donated more than 1.1 million pounds of food to those impacted by disasters over the last 8 years!
It's important to have a PET EMERGENCY GO-KIT of pet supplies ready to go in the event of an emergency. In recognition of FEMA's National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day, Hill's Food, Shelter, & Love is sharing this valuable Info-Graphic with tips to help you keep your pet safe in an emergency; You can Download in PDF format Here.
We are ready for an emergency with our PET EMERGENCY GO KIT for Icy and Phoebe:
Here are the items in our PET EMERGENCY GO KIT:
Both Icy and Phoebe are microchipped and always wear their collars and ID tags. Collars can easily get lost or break off, especially in the midst of the chaos of a disaster so a microchip is an additional vital safety measure. Any shelter or Veterinarian should be able to scan for a microchip. We make sure to keep the information updated on their microchips and ID tags. We moved several times in the last few years, and it's one of the first address changes I make.
Families can view the entire Pet Emergency Go-Kit and learn more tips about disaster preparedness and safety at HillsPet.com/PetPrepared. Shelters in need of assistance can contact Hills Disaster Relief Network for Pets
