Pet measures in the event of a disaster
Last update date June 9, 2023
In the event of a disaster such as a large-scale earthquake, it is assumed that people will evacuate to evacuation shelter and other places.
In case of a sudden disaster, think about measures for your precious pet on a daily basis.
Specify the owner
Attach a lost tag or microchip so that you can find it even if you get lost in the turmoil during a disaster.
Dogs should have a dog's license tag or rabies vaccination vote.
Acquisition of discipline and social skills
It is important to have basic disciplines to evacuate safely in an emergency and to avoid disturbing other evacuees.
Get used to carry bags and cages, and discipline such as "wait," "sit down," and "do not bark."
Health management
Let's perform rabies vaccination (dog), various vaccines, fleas and ticks on a daily basis.
Prepare emergency carry-out bags for pets
Relief supplies may not be delivered immediately. Let's prepare for at least 5 days of preparation.
Example of a pet carry-out bag
- Carry bag cage
- Food and water for 5 days or more
- Tableware
- everyday medicine
- Spare collar lead (not stretched)
- Manure processing equipment
- (In the case of cats) laundry net
- Toy
- Pet card (owner's contact information, pet and owner photos, health status, vaccination status, etc.)
Pet cards are distributed at the Health Sanitation Division Environmental Sanitation Section window.
Securing place
Find a place to deposit your pet, such as relatives and friends.
