We restore storm damage 365 days a year in Lane County.

Are your pets included in your home’s emergency plan? Our local North Eugene and Northwest Lane County teams respond to storm damage emergencies every year in Eugene. Here are some tips from the American Red Cross for keeping your pets safe during a disaster:

Keeping Pets Safe During a Disaster 

• Make an evacuation plan for you and your pets. Many hotels and shelters do not accept animal guests other than service animals.
• Include pets in your emergency kit, or assemble an emergency kit for your pet
• If it’s not safe to stay in your home during an emergency, it is not safe for your pets, either 

Pet Emergency Kits 

• Sturdy leashes, harnesses, and or carriers to transport pets safely and ensure they can’t escape 

• Food, drinking water, bowls, cat litter/pan, and a manual can opener if your pets eat canned food 
• Mediations and copies of medical records are stored in a waterproof container 
• A first-aid kit 
• Current photos of your pet in case they get lost 
• Information on feeding schedules, medical conditions, behavior problems, and the name and number of your veterinarian in case you have to foster or board your pets 
• Pet beds and toys, if easily transportable
