Notes:

The LA/SPCA is the designated support agency overseeing pet evacuation and rescue functions for the city of New Orleans and the Office of Homeland Security. The LA/SPCA joined with city, parish, state and federal agencies to develop operational procedures to care for companion animals before, during, and after a hurricane or other disaster. Households must pre-register with the City of New Orleans if they will need assistance. However, evacuees with pets utilizing city assistance are not guaranteed space on transport or at shelters.

Pet owners may call for information or to request assistance by calling 311, or 1-877-286-6431. There is no limit to the number of pets. The service is free to Orleans Parish residents, but they must meet certain criteria. It is only available to people who do not own a mode of transportation or the mode of transportation is too small to accommodate the entire family.

Preparing Your Pets

* If you are a pet owner, your family's disaster plan must include your pets. Bring pets indoors at the first sign of danger. If you must evacuate, the best thing you can to protect your pet is to evacuate them too.
* Identify boarding facilities, veterinarians, or hotels outside of the affected areas that can accept your pets. If you have notice of an impending disaster, call ahead for reservations.
* Pet-friendly shelters may be opened during an evacuation. This information will be available at shelter information points.
* Create a disaster readiness kit for your pet including food, water, first aid supplies, feeding dishes,
leashes, carrier, blanket, etc.
* Make sure all family members are aware of these preparations.
