During Hurricane Katrina, an estimated 250,000 pets were left behind — primarily because their owners had no pet-evacuation plan. Many families refused to leave rather than abandon their animals, placing themselves in life-threatening situations. The tragedy was not inevitable. It was the predictable result of not planning.
The ERG Pet Emergency Preparedness Plan covers everything a Florida pet owner needs to evacuate safely, shelter effectively, and recover quickly after a disaster.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Pet evacuation decision timeline: when to go and what to do first
Pet-friendly hotel and shelter directory guidance — how to find, how to book
Pet go-bag contents checklist: food, water, medications, documents, carriers
Veterinary record and vaccination documentation worksheet
Microchip and identification best practices
Large animal and livestock evacuation guidance
Multi-pet household management during an emergency
What to do if you cannot take your pet — last-resort protocols
Post-disaster pet health and behavioral considerations
Reunification resources if separated from your pet
Delivered as a fully editable Word document.
WHO THIS IS FOR: Dog owners, cat owners, small animal and multi-pet households in Florida.
