HEART Spokane
Founded in 2006, HEART was created to coordinate efforts with Spokane County Emergency Management and the American Red Cross to provide rapid response to events affecting the health, safety and welfare of animals and their people. Natural disasters, can strike without warning. Emergency tips to help you prepare to evacuate with your animals.
Proof of ownership. Make sure your pet(s) ID is current. Register Microchips, keep licenses up to date and make sure your pets ID tags are securely attached to collars and harnesses. Keep a current photo of you and your pet (s) together. This will help establish ownership if you and your pet(s) should get separated. Include any distinguishing coloration and marks. If you have a dog that requires grooming such as a Lhasa Apso, Poodle, etc., consider taking photos of your pet with short and long hair.
Make a pet emergency kit. Pet food, bottled water, medications, veterinary & ownership records, first aid kit, cat litter & box, food dishes, leash/ harness, bedding, & your pet's favorite toy.
Create an evacuation plan. Include in your plan, the names and addresses of friends & family with whom you can stay. Information for pet friendly motels in & outside of your local area. Research Veterinarians and boarding kennels in & outside of your local area. Ask about their evacuation plan and if the owner or other employee stays on site with the animals. NOTE: Most veterinary and boarding facilities require your pet's vaccination records. Be sure to keep them in your pet emergency kit.
