The federal Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act, passed in 2006, requires state and local agencies to develop emergency preparedness plans for individuals with pets and service animals.<sup>1<\/sup> In case of an emergency, you should have a disaster plan; a Los Angeles County animal control company may not be able to care for your domestic dog or cat.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>For Pets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Update collars and identification tags; your cell phone number should be on the tag, as most citizens can\u2019t scan for a chip.<\/li>\n<li>Evacuate with your pet; you don\u2019t know when you\u2019ll return. If a location isn\u2019t safe for you, it won\u2019t be for your pet.<\/li>\n<li>Find a safe place in advance and evacuate early. The smell of smoke, sound of high winds, and sight of chaotic conditions can make a pet fearful and agitated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, try making prior arrangements with friends or relatives, or have a list of veterinarian\u2019s offices and kennels that can shelter domestic animals such as dogs and cats.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>For Large Animals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Large animals such as horses should be fitted with bracelets or microchips. You should plan for evacuations. Train your horse to enter a trailer so they won\u2019t be frightened when it\u2019s time to leave. Also:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify nearby stables or safety zones where you can walk your horses to and\/or load them into a trailer.<\/li>\n<li>Consider stables outside of Los Angeles in case areas designated by the Los Angeles Fire Department aren\u2019t available or accessible.<\/li>\n<li>Stock a surplus of feed and have a three-day supply of water for emergencies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Animals affected by California wildfires can face extreme hardship. If at all possible, take your pets with you when evacuating. When you find wildlife around your home following a disaster, rely on an animal control professional\u2019s help.
