Make a Plan

Don’t forget about your animals when preparing for disaster. When a situation reaches a point where it’s not safe for you to stay in your home, it isn’t safe for your animals either.

Emergency Fire Preparedness: How to Stay Safe and Help Others in Need

Fire season creates a high risk for people and animal alike, and there is a critical need for everyone to consider the dreaded “what-ifs”.

Disaster Kit for Animals

Keep everything stored in sturdy containers (a duffel bag, storage bin, etc.) that can be carried easily. Keep your kit in a place accessible to all members of your family.

Disaster Preparedness for Large Animals & Livestock

A disaster plan for large animals, such as horses or cows, is much the same as for household animals.

An APNM Staff Member’s Harrowing Fire Evacuation

"I was that person who said to himself and others, 'Yeah, I should really make a fire plan.' I am now that person telling others to do it. Do it today. I am not kidding. When it is upon you, it is terrifying."

Emergency Planning

What will you do if disaster strikes? Planning ahead is what disaster preparedness is all about.
