Toolkit Overview
The Ready Campaign, FEMA, Citizen Corps,
American Red Cross, and The Humane Society of the United States have
come together to develop this emergency preparedness toolkit that can
assist you in your planning efforts as you work toward keeping your
community, and specifically, the pets and people who care for them,
safe from disasters.
This toolkit provides you with the resources on how
to stay current on your local pet disaster plan, policies and
procedures; examples of how to promote preparedness in your
communities and engage other organizations in your efforts; as well as
resources to educate the community about how to assemble a pet
emergency supply kit and make a family emergency plan. In addition,
there is a tools section that provides sample preparedness brochures,
PowerPoint templates and press materials you can use to develop and
distribute your internal and external preparedness messaging.
Preparing our families, homes and businesses for
unexpected disasters is a civic virtue. Thank you for your commitment
to making our communities safer for the pets we call family!
