Disaster Guide: Your Personal Pet Plan

The SPCA, Red Cross, Humane Society or local animal control department will set up emergency pet centers near mass care facilities. Usually, the only animals allowed inside human care facilities will be seeing-eye dogs.

Call your local Animal Shelter, SPCA or Humane Society for generic pet care information as well as any specific plans they may already have to deal with pets in a disaster. Knowing this information now will be of great comfort in the event of a major quake.
