Disaster preparedness for
you and your animals.

Each time disaster strikes, people are caught off guard, with tragic results for the pets and farm animals who depend on them. Injured, lost, and frightened animals are left to fend for themselves, and often wander or are taken miles from home to shelters where they are killed, only because their human companions don’t know where to look.

With a generous grant from the Red Cross of Northern California, the Palo Alto Humane Society has created a series of “Prepare the Animals” flyers to inform you how to prepare for emergencies.

 

PREPARE YOUR ANIMALS – DISASTER PREPAREDNESS FOR PETS AND FARM ANIMALS.

The Palo Alto Humane Society recommends that you periodically check with the American Red Cross and animal shelter in your area for up to date information on local evacuation procedures and temporary shelters for you and your animals. In Palo Alto, call the Red Cross at (650) 853-3025 and Palo Alto Animal Services at (650) 496-5971.
