Manyofusremember the Weed fire where more than 1,500 residents had to flee, some with only a few min- utes' warn- ing. This year, ac- cording to Cal Fire on June 26 they have already responded to more than 2,700 wildfires. It is not beyond the realm of pos- sibility that a wildfire di- saster may cause you to leave your home at a mo- ment's notice. Are you prepared? If you must evacuate, do not leave your pets behind. Unfortunately, emergency public shel- ters will only permit ser- vice animals and will not accept family pets in- side their facilities for health and safety rea- sons. It's important that you make other arrange- ments for your pets' pro- tection and safety. Call motels away from known hazard areas. Make sure they allow pets, and ask if there are any restric- tions on size and num- ber allowed. Many will waive, in cases of severe emergencies, "no pet" policies. Ask depend- able friends or relatives, who live away from the area, if your pets could stay with them during an emergency. Also, ask if they would possibly care for them for an extended period if you should lose your residence. Contact veterinary clinics and ask if they during an emer- gency can board your pet. Locate boarding kennels, again preferably away from hazard areas, to de- termine what is available. Inquire as to who stays on the premises with the animals and what pro- visions are made if they need to evacuate. Con- tact local animal shelters and rescues and ask if in the event of disaster, they provide any emergency shelter. Be sure your pets' vaccinations are up-to- date. If you plan to board your pet, most facilities will require proof of cur- rent rabies, distemper, parvo and bordetella vac- cinations. If you must leave your pets behind when evacu- ating, leave them loose in- side your home with dry food and plenty of wa- ter. To provide extra wa- ter, open a faucet and let it drip into a container or fill a bathtub or open the toilet. Never leave your pet chained outside or tied up. Place a notice outside, stating what pets are home. Provide a con- tact phone number, and the name and number of your veterinarian. Put together a pet emergency supply box. It should include a min- imum of three days food and water for all your pets. Do not forget to add feeding dishes and a can opener. Add these other essential items: A first aid kit that includes a two- week supply of any medi- cations the pet requires; a sheet that lists dietary re- strictions, feeding sched- ules, etc. and photocop- ies of medical records with proof of all vaccina- tions. Have separate pet records, which include: name, age, type, sex, and breed of pet; a contact name with address, phone number and area code; distinguishing character- istics; whether the pet is spayed/neutered. Micro- chip your pet before di- saster strikes. If you and your pet are separated, it will increase your chances of reuniting. In case you need to create "Lost" no- tices, have a current photo of the pet. Keep in mind that ani- mals react differently un- der stress. For this rea- son, it is important that you have dogs securely leashed or crated and cats placed in trans- port carriers. All animals should have a collar with an identification tag at- tached. If easily taken, pet beds and toys can help re- duce stress. If cats are in- volved, do not forget a lit- ter pan, scoopable litter, plastic bags, and scooper. Additional supplies that can be useful are blan- kets and towels (paper and cloth), plastic trash bags, a flashlight with ex- tra batteries, and cleaning products. If you have other pets such as birds, reptile or amphibian (herptile) pets, hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, etc., also prepare their specific evacuation items. Have a secure car- rier large enough to com- fortably contain the ani- mal. Styrofoam insulated boxes can be used as tem- porary shelter for reptiles. Place proper identifica- tion on all carriers includ- ing pet information, your name, address, and con- tact phone numbers with area code. For birds, have a cage cover available to keep them calm and pro- tected. Spray bottles are also extremely useful. They can moisten a bird's feathers or help maintain the higher humidity some herptiles require. Do not forget adequate water and appropriate food. Fresh vegetables or fruits may not be quickly available during a disaster, so be sure to keep frozen items ready for emergencies. If your herptile feeds on live food, remember to con- sider this for evacuation as well.

Most popular park areas will fill up quickly with visi- tors and parking will be very limited. Please plan to arrive early, and have an alternative plan should your favorite spot already be occupied. Brandy Creek Beach will have lifeguards on duty from 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The parking lots, pic- nic areas and beaches fill up early in the day. The parking lots often reach capacity between 10 a.m. and noon Once the park- ing lots are full, all vehi- cles will be stopped at the Whiskeytown Dam. Visi- tors may wait at the dam until parking spaces open at Brandy Creek; average wait time may be up to one hour or longer. Last year, park rangers stopped and turned around hundreds of cars after Brandy Creek Beach was full at noon. The Oak Bottom area is an alternative to Brandy Creek Beach. There is a small picnic area and beach. The Oak Bottom beach does not have life- guards. This area also fills quickly due to limited parking. Smoking, pets and al- cohol are prohibited at Brandy Creek Beach, Oak Bottom Beach and East Beach areas. All fires must be in designated picnic areas or campgrounds in established fire rings or grills. The use or posses- sion of all fireworks is pro- hibited at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. Please display your park entrance pass on the driv- er's side of the dashboard of your vehicle. A seven day entrance pass can be pur- chased for $10 at the Vis- itor Center or at several other locations in the park. Do not leave valuable items in your vehicle and always lock your vehicle. Remember to not drink and drive or operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol. If you swim or boat, wear a lifejacket. For further information, go to the Visitor Center, which is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day, or visit http://www.nps.gov/WHIS.
