THIS is A HUGE REMINDER......... DO YOU HAVE UP to DATE 'emergency kits' ??

Especially since the definition of "complete and up-to-date" just changed a lot for some people...

Folks, remember to have emergency supplies for your pets. If you have the supplies and gear needed, you won't have to leave your furry friend behind when you get the evac order.

DO YOU HAVE UP to DATE 'emergency kits' ??

Yep...My household for at least 7 days: food, clothing, water, tents and cots, bucket with free standing toilet seat and dry bleach/kitty litter plastic bags for a toilet.

Pets are covered with a 'go crate' that has/meds/leashes/tie out stakes . There's also a fairly complex medical first aid kit. All located on the outside of a garage wall so that if needed breaking through the outside wall of the house should be doable.

If we learn only one thing from this tragedy, it is to update our emergency kits. Do not rely on the government to help you or your family. I am not knocking the emergency workers but if you have to rely on them, you can wind up like these refugees.

Thanks for reminding me to recheck ours and rotate the bottled water.
