Ready New York Pets GuideMore tips for you in honor of National Preparedness Month!

If you are a pet owner, you should include your pets in your emergency plans. For example, you could:

• Identify pet-friendly hotels/motels outside the affected area or arrange for family/friends outside the affected area to shelter you pet, especially if you have to evacuate
• Create a Go Bag for your pet in case of an evacuation
• Leave at least a three-day supply of water and food for your pet if you need to leave your pet at home
• Make sure your dog or cat wears a collar or harness with proper identification tags, including your name, address, and phone number, as well as a phone number of an emergency contact
