Who it's for
U.S. pet owners in wildfire, hurricane, tornado, flood, or other evacuation-prone areas — from one indoor cat to a multi-pet household with dogs, birds, or small mammals — who want a tested, destination-first plan rather than a generic checklist. It fits you whether you evacuate by car or by an arranged ride, and whether your pets have special medical needs or none.
About this playbook
This plan turns generic preparedness advice into a tested evacuation system sized to your actual pets — their species, size, health, and temperament. You will inventory every animal, find out what your county shelters really accept, and design a tiered list of three verified destinations — hosts, pet-friendly hotels, boarding, and shelter fallbacks — so you never depend on a shelter that may already be full. Then you will secure identification and medical records, build a seven-day go-kit, and practice loading until the household can leave in minutes. The final phase runs a full drill, documents the plan on one page, and sets a maintenance calendar. It does not cover livestock or commercial operations, and it cannot guarantee any destination will accept your pet during a disaster — it makes verified alternatives your default instead of a hope.

What you need first
At least one pet, a vehicle you can evacuate with (or a ride arranged with someone who accepts your pets), current basic veterinary care with vaccination records on file, a phone to make verification calls during business hours, and a shelf or closet where the go-kit can live.
