www.barkandwhiskers.com/2024-01-21-saving-pets-during-rapid-onset-disastersStory at-a-glance December 30, 2021, a wildfire destroyed more than 1,000 homes in Boulder County, Colorado in a matter of six hours Many pet owners weren’t home when the fire broke out; roadblocks and dense smoke made returning to retrieve pets impossible It’s estimated that more than 1,000 pets died in the disaster, which is known as the Marshall Fire Several apps are now available or being developed that would connect pet owners who need help rescuing their pet; the apps allow people to post notifications about pets left in homes, so those nearby could rescue them in time A report is also calling for research into pitfalls in the emergency notification system, which prevented many pet owners from returning home in time to rescue their pets My notes: Most of us have an evac plan for us humans. But what of our pets? We are into Prepping & I have made sure to include our furkids.

Make an emergency list for humans and pets. Don't forget their medications and supplements.
