Soo
Was watching this show on Discovery called "Doomsday Preppers" (yea im a reality TV nut)
Anyway, they were talking about the prep to bunker in your house (or bug out) and be able to self sustain for a year.
The only problem is, there was no provision for pets I have to think, and ask:
# 1- Does your family have an emergency preparedness plan including 72 hour kits for everyone in the family?
Do your cats get included in the prep, evacuate, and survival plan?
So my question is, since I know what should go in a human 72 hour kit (basically enough food and water to survive for 72 + hours), as well as essential meds etc..
Anyone have thoughts on what to include for each of your fur-kids? How much food- etc...
And one overlooked thing most often on storing water, at any given time people have roughly 40- 50 + gallons of water (in the water heater, just drain it)
These families they show on the program all have pets, yet no mention is made of including the pets in their prep, evacuation, shelter, and other post-apocolypse or nuclear disaster or any number of other "disasters". The most we do is keep 72 hour kits, and that is good for anything. Fire, flood, any natural disaster. We have enough water and food and meds for 72 hours, as well as 2 changes of clothing, as well as ponchos, flashlights, etc. But we don't go overboard, no bunkers etc.
Just wondered thoughts
