Steps to prepare include:

· 1. Know how to get early warnings about threats like flood, fire, and disease outbreaks by turning into the Emergency Alert System in your area.

· 2. Know what services are available in your area for evacuation and emergency care of your animals.

· 3. License your companion animals; make sure your animals can be easily identified (microchip, identification tags, tattoos, ear tags, etc.) so they can be reunited with you after the disaster.

4. Ask neighbors and friends to evacuate your animals if a disaster strikes when you are away.

· 5. Take pictures of you with your animal(s) so you can show proof of ownership if you are separated during a disaster.
