Keep pets safe

Pets are the new kids these days. They have become just as important as any family member to most of us, so why would you not have a plan of action set up for them in case of the unexpected.

Evacuations

While practicing fire escape or evacuation plans, be sure to include your pets. If an evacuation happens, don't leave pets behind as they can be lost or injured.
