During a massive earthquake like the 8.8 one that just hit Chile, having a pet earthquake disaster plan is vital. In a major emergency, most international earthquake rescue response teams are going to be focusing on helping people. Nevertheless, there will be pets distressed, stranded, unintentionally abandoned and injured. In an earthquake or tsunami buildings crumple, fires break out, and cars get over turned. Local animal shelters and pet rescue agencies may be overwhelmed. Survival for you and your dog will depend on you knowing what to do.
