Are you prepared for a disaster?

Depending on the location of the incident, the size of the incident, the amount of people & animals being evacuated Mendocino County & Animal Care Services might only be able to offer limited animal sheltering services.

Owners of animals need to be prepared for disaster incidents.  Make arrangements to house your animals with friends, family co-workers in other locations not effected by the disaster incident. 

Prepare your resources such as dog crates, cat carriers, horse or stock trailers, food & water, medicine, copies of vaccination records, animal id tags-collars etc.

Plan your exit and know several ways to get out of your areas.

Practice your the plan with family, friends or neighbors by conducting mock exits.
