This especially important for all West Coast folks, not just one county. For those with pets and/livestock, it's time again to make sure you're ready for fire emergency and evacuation possibilities. Starting with a crate and leash and collar, (and back up just in case), microchip info (make sure chip info is registered and up to date!), shot records and other important records, good pictures at least 3 views, printed copies in a gallon zip lock bag in the family evacuaction gear, have info stored in the cloud, drop box, somewherr safe from disaster, also. No microchip? Get one asap, without delay. The better prepared to grab what you need the better everything goes during emergencies. Many pack a emergency bag for pets - enough food for 3-6 days, water, bowls, medicines, a small towel, pet cleaning wipes, leash & collar and printed shot records (must have tabies verification for public evacuation shelters). Feel free to share your tips here.
