I know many of you here are probably sending good thoughts, prayers, or even donations to all the pets and their humans effected by the Southern California fires. It's really a scary thing to think about.
I've read several places that the evacuation process with pets has been made easier by people planning ahead, and it got me thinking. I do NOT have a proper plan in place to deal with any disaster, and I need to make one to ensure my pets are safe and accounted for, and all their supplies/information is ready to grab.
I wanted to share with everyone how the California Veterinary Medical Association suggests you prepare households with cats and dogs for disasters and emergencies. I hope this information can help someone in the future.

If you think there are other good ways to be prepared, or if you know of any organizations that could use money/supplies donated, please share!
