Plan Ahead for Your Pet’s Safety ISTOCKPHOTO

START EARLY and STOCK UP

Disaster Preparedness Hurricane season runs from June through the end of November. In the event of evacuation for a hurricane or other disaster, residents and pets should come prepared with a pet disaster preparedness kit — shelters do not stock supplies.

Hawaii has dodged major hurricane events these past few years. But don’t be complacent! As we emerge from the covid crisis there are still supply chain issues, so start early and stock up. Your pet kit should include: • Pet crate/carrier • 14 day supply of Food and Water. • Medication/Pet First Aid Kit and veterinary info and records. • Identification ID tag on a collar, microchipping & current photo. • Collar and leash/harness • A comforting toy, bedding, treats and towel • Hygiene, grooming and sanitation supplies No one should be left behind if you don’t feel safe in your home! If evacuation is not necessary and you can shelter in place, the family pet should be kept inside away from wind, noise and breaking glass and/or in a crate.
