I’ll never forget my first “real” earthquake. Hubby was at work and I just arrived home to our apartment after finishing the closing inspection on our new townhouse.
We were casually chatting when the ground began to violently shake. He yelled for me to leave the apartment building, but I couldn’t leave my 4 fur babies.
The terror on their little faces as they ran to hide froze me in my tracks. I didn’t know what to do and I was not prepared.
That unusual 5.8 earthquake in Virginia occurred back in 2011 and since then I’ve become more prepared for emergency events.
The following are some practices I follow that you may find useful.
I keep this kit right by the carriers so I can grab everything on the go.
I also have a reminder on my phone to swap out items that expire so nothing goes to waste.
Living in an area that is more likely to have a hurricane or tornado, these are my basics.
I also keep a small bag of litter and a disposable litter box in the basement in case we need it for sheltering in place or an evacuation.
Don’t forget a litter scoop and some bags that can be tied up for waste.
Do you have an emergency kit for your fur baby? What did you include?
