To Protect Your Valuable Pets from the Nankai Trough Earthquake Experts explain the difference between “evacuation with pets” and “evacuation with pets

What can pet owners do?

If you still think, “I want to evacuate with my pet, a member of the family,” what should you do?

I would recommend evacuating at home then. Living in an evacuation center can be stressful for both people and pets, so choosing to evacuate at home and continue with your daily routine is the least stressful way to live an evacuation life.

However, if your home is lost in a fire or destroyed by an earthquake, and you are unable to secure your safety, please do not hesitate to go to a designated evacuation center! “

Mr. Suzuki strongly emphasized the importance of “stockpiling” in the event of a home evacuation.

He said, “There are three things that you must have in stock: water, rice, and medicine. This is a must. The guidelines say to have a 5 to 7 day supply, but I try to have enough for about 2 weeks.

It is also important to know how much water and food your pet usually takes. It may be a good idea to keep a three-day supply in a sturdy, easily accessible location in your home that you can easily access ……, for example, in a crevice space in the entryway.”
