The plan was developed by NAPPS’ Disaster Preparedness Committee in an effort to assist members and pet owners in developing personalized disaster plans for their businesses and homes. The guide includes an official pet identification form, checklist for a complete Disaster Supply Kit, and even special recommendations for birds, reptiles, and other small animals. A shorter quick reference guide is also ! provided for pet owners and emergency wallet ID cards are available to identify emergency pet guardians and emergency vet contacts.
