Pets should be protected during disasters
Following the recent bombings in Caracas, La Guaira, and Miranda, it's essential to know how to act and prepare families for such events. Therefore, since pets are important members of the family, they should be included in disaster preparedness plans.
TL;DR
- Prepare an emergency supply kit for pets including food, water, and medications.
- Include a carrier, familiar items like toys and treats to reduce stress.
- Pack sanitation supplies such as a waste box, bedding, and disinfectants.
- Assemble a first-aid kit with bandages, antibiotic ointment, gloves, and cleaning solutions.
- Create a clean, quiet, and safe space at home with blankets and toys.
- Close doors and windows to block out noise that might cause pets to escape.
- Consider alternative locations for pets if evacuation is necessary and shelters are unavailable.
