href="http://www.petacatalog.com/products/Animal_Rescue_Car_Kit-250-25.html" target="_blank">animal emergency kit</a> readily available. The kit should include a harness and leash or a carrier as well as bottled water, food and water bowls, dry and canned food, and a copy of your animal companions&#8217; medical records. If you have a cat, have litter and a small litter tray ready to go.</li><li>Make sure that all your animals have collars or harnesses with identification. Keep a current photo of your animal companion for identification purposes, just as you would for a child.</li><li>Place PETA&#8217;s <a href="http://www.petacatalog.com/products/Please_Save_Our_Animals_Sticker-100-3.html" target="_blank">emergency window stickers</a> near your front and back doors and on side windows in case a weather emergency or fire strikes when you are not home. These stickers will alert rescuers to animals in your home who need help.</li></ul><p><b><img class="wp-image-101608 aligncenter" src="https://www.peta.org/wp-content/plugins/peta-optimization/images/1x1.trans.gif" data-lazy-src="https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/7673.86PC3307_5F00_DB.jpg_2D00_594x0.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/7673.86PC3307_5F00_DB.jpg_2D00_594x0.jpg 580w, https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/7673.86PC3307_5F00_DB.jpg_2D00_594x0-300x175.jpg 300w, https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/7673.86PC3307_5F00_DB.jpg_2D00_594x0-400x233.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><noscript><img class="wp-image-101608 aligncenter" src="https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/7673.86PC3307_5F00_DB.jpg_2D00_594x0.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/7673.86PC3307_5F00_DB.jpg_2D00_594x0.jpg 580w, https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/7673.86PC3307_5F00_DB.jpg_2D00_594x0-300x175.jpg 300w, https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/7673.86PC3307_5F00_DB.jpg_2D00_594x0-400x233.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /></noscript>During an Emergency</b></p><ul><li>If you are being evacuated, never leave animals behind. There is no way of knowing what may happen to your home while you are away, and you may not be able to return for days or even weeks. Animal companions left behind may become malnourished or dehydrated or be crushed by collapsing walls. They may drown or escape in panic and become lost.</li><li>Know your destination ahead of time. Not all emergency shelters accept animals, but many <a href="http://www.petswelcome.com/" target="_blank">hotels take animals</a> (most suspend &#8220;no pet&#8221; policies during disasters, thankfully).</li><li>Place small animals in secure carriers. Dogs should be leashed and wearing harnesses. Be sure to take the <a href="http://www.petacatalog.com/products/Animal_Rescue_Car_Kit-250-25.html" target="_blank">animal emergency kit</a> that you&#8217;ve prepared.</li></ul><p><b>If Authorities Force You to Leave Your Animals Behind</b></p><ul><li>Never turn animals loose outdoors—they can&#8217;t survive &#8220;on instinct.&#8221; Domesticated animals rely on their human companions for many things and are totally helpless and vulnerable outside, especially in bad weather. Instead, leave them in a secure area inside your home with access to the upper floors so that they can escape rising floodwaters.</li><li>Leave out at least a 10-day supply of water. Fill every bowl, pan, and Tupperware container that you have with water, then set them on the floor or on counters, as just one container may spill. Fill sinks, too. If your toilet bowl is free of chemical disinfectants, leave the toilet seat up to provide animals with one more source of water, but do not make that the only source.</li><li>Leave out at least a 10-day supply of dry food. Canned food will go bad quickly.</li><li>If you can&#8217;t get to your home, contact a reliable neighbor or friend to check on the animals and get them out, if possible. Provide specific instructions on care.</li></ul><p>By planning now, you can make sure that all your loved ones can weather any storm. Remember: The question isn&#8217;t <i>whether</i> a disaster will strike—it&#8217;s <i>when</i>.</p></div><div class="footer-enews promo"><form id="connect-form-v2" name="connectform"
