How You Can Keep Your Pet Safe

SERVPRO is a national sponsor for The American Red Cross. Home fires are the most common disaster that the American Red Cross responds to. Here are tips from American Red Cross on how to keep your pet safe in the case of a home fire:

• The best way to protect your pets from the effects of a fire is to include them in your family plan. This includes having their own disaster supplies kit as well as arranging in advance for a safe place for them to stay if you need to leave your home.
•   When you practice your escape plan, practice taking your pets with you. Train them to come to you when you call.
•   In the event of a disaster, if you must evacuate, the most important thing you can do to protect your pets is to evacuate them, too. But remember never delay escape or endanger yourself or family to rescue a family pet.
