Get Prepared

With a fatal mud slide to our South last month and an earthquake just off Vancouver Island less than a week ago if you still need a reminder to get prepared, this is it. 
See attached a couple of sites to help you plan for you and your families, including your pets.

I, myself have been working on kits for Quincy and I both and a plan for when it happens. I've been building three 5 gallon buckets that are water proof. One has food, water and personal stuff for myself.
 A second has what I'll call hardware incl. duct tape, emerge shelter, emerge sleeping bag, small crow bar, leather gloves, wind up flash light with radio, helmet, safety vest, stove & fuel, liners for the pail if it becomes a toilet, garbage bags, 50' rope, first aid kit & manual (should I be injured needing someone to help :) ), a bit of cash, contact phone numbers, matches, candles & there's room for more.
Quincy's pail so far has the following; 5 lb bag of food, treats, a few can of wet dog food, a leash, collar with ID tags, harness, booties (if we need to walk to somewhere safe I want her paws protected), a high vis vest, muzzle (one that allows her to pant and drink in), a toy, water, collapsable bowl, first aid kit, medication for her cholitis should stress trigger it and a DAP collar (to perhaps calm her). 

I know I'll think of other things but it's a good start. I have backpacks handy all the time to through things into should we have to leave on foot and the pails are easy to toss in the truck if needed.

"I attended the March 06, 2021 K9ABCs first aid course run by Laurie. Excellent presentation of the material - Laurie is an amazing teacher combining the book material with personal experience both as a paramedic and as a dog lover. What stood out for me was the dog 'Annie': a rubber dog to practice all the handling skills needed for an emergency - CPR, assisted breathing, pulse check. Class was run in a highly professional manner with love an care for animals exuding at all times. All of it with COVID restrictions in place and well observed. Thank you Laurie, I'll be back for refreshers when time comes." Violeta Toma, 2021
