Make pets part of your emergency plan this Emergency Preparedness Week

Monday, 4 May 2026 08:21

Free guides are available at most animal shelters to help residents get ready

The Ontario SPCA is urging pet owners across the region to include animals in their emergency plans as part of Emergency Preparedness Week.

The organization says families should prepare 72-hour kits, plan evacuation options, and make sure pets can be safely cared for during disasters like severe storms or power outages.

Free resources, including guides and emergency kits, are being offered online and at local animal centres to help residents get ready.

Officials say planning ahead can make a major difference in keeping both people and pets safe during a crisis.
