Disaster Plan
Our country has experienced fires, flood, earthquakes, tornados and hurricanes as well as other disasters. Many pets are separated from their owners during such times. Many pet owners are forced to leave their pets behind because shelters are unable to take them. Now is the time to plan ahead for a possible disaster not only for you pet(s) but also for your family.
When you register as a client of AAA Pet Care Pros, Ltd., we will keep on file important information concerning you and your pet. This information will be stored on our computer and backed up off-site.
But you should not totally rely on this since we might not be able to have computers available to access this information. We will provide you with a hard copy of pertinent information which you should keep on you.
This information will contain the information on your veterinarian; name, age, description and picture of your pet, medication (if any), types and quantity of food given, emergency contact information, etc. In addition to this you should have an emergency kit prepared that can be taken with you quickly should you need to evacuate.
Always, at all times, know exactly where your pets collars, leash, pet carrier, etc. is so in the case of an emergency you can leave quickly. We recommend that you keep them in one designated area so you will not have to search for them.

Have contact information concerning your local vet, local animal hospital, and local boarding facility so that in the event of a localized disaster (ie, house fire, etc.) you will have somewhere to take your pet for care or boarding.
Also, identify friends/family in the immediate area that will accomodate your family/pet(s) should such a disaster occur. Also, familiarize yourself with the local hotels that will allow pets.
Contact your local humane society, veterinarian, etc. and ask them if they have a disaster plan and if they would share it with you. If at all possible, have at least one if not more friends and/or family members who are outside of our immediate area keep a copy of your important records and who will be your contact in the event a disaster strikes.
Inform all members of your family that you will attempt to contact this family member/friend as soon as possible. Ask them if they would be willing to accomodate your family and pet(s) if you can physically reach them.
Designate meeting places outside your immediate area for family members to gather if they can reach same. If your designated friend/family member has not made contact with you within 72 hours after a disaster, have them post information including pictures on web sites such as Craigslist in the event that someone can provide information about you to them.
Make sure that you memorize your designated friend/family member's phone number, address, cell phone number and email address as well as have it on your person. Have all the members of your family memorize this information also in case you get separated.
