Thesepastweekshave proven, once again, that disaster can strike any- time and anywhere. Whether it was the flooding in Louisi- ana or the many fires that have raged un- mercifully throughout Cal- ifornia, all have had severe impact on both humans and animals. Each year, at least once, I try to pro- vide information with re- gard to preparing for a di- saster. This year is no ex- ception. Perhaps I sound like a "broken record", but I cannot impress on every- one how important it is to prepare before the need to evacuate strikes. The lives you save may be your own, your family, your animals, and also those that are try- ing to assist you. Therefore, I highly rec- ommend that you cut and save the following infor- mation to a location that is easily viewed and acces- sible in event of an emer- gency. In the event of a wild- fire, the Cal Fire Tehama Glen Unit at 528-5199 or http://www.tehamacoun- tyfire.org/, Fire Depart- ment and the Tehama County Sheriff's Office at 529-7900, will notify and assist with any evacuation of residents. The Tehama County Sheriff's outgoing 9-1-1 ser- vice automatically calls a resident's non-cellular tele- phone number to notify them of emergencies. If you wish notification via a cellular number instead, download the appropri- ate form at http://www.te- hamaso.org/emergency_ form.htm and return it to the Tehama County Sher- iff's office. Emergency Alert Sys- tem announcements will be on local radio sta- tions KFBK 1530 AM 93.1 FM and KTHU 100.7 FM. Television stations, KRCR Channel 7 http://www.kr- crtv.com/weather/wild- fire, KHSL Channel 12 and KNVN Channel 24 http://www.actionnews- now.com/home/ will also have EAS announcements and will provide news up- dates. The Red Bluff Daily News http://www.red- bluffdailynews.com/, the Redding Record Search- light http://www.redding. com/ and the Chico En- terprise Record http:// www.chicoer.com/ will post updated news to their websites. In addi- tion, current fire incident information will be found at Cal Fire http://cdfdata. fire.ca.gov/incidents/inci- dents_current and Yuba Net http://yubanet.com/ Fires/. The American Red Cross of Northeastern California at (530) 673- 1460 or 1-855-891-7325 or http://www.redcross. org/ca/yuba-city/local- programs-services/disas- ter-services will estab- lish shelters for short-term housing and care of evac- uees. They will only allow service animals, and not family pets, inside their shelters. Be sure to ar- range other housing for your pets' safety prior to a disaster. If you choose not to go to the Red Cross shelter, still contact them to provide information about your location, in the event anyone is attempt- ing to locate you. The Tehama County Sheriff's Office at 529- 7900 and the Tehama County Fire Depart- ment 528-5199 will pro- vide printed Multi-Haz- ard Emergency Evacu- ation Plans for advance planning. In addition, 2-1-1 Tehama is another resource for up-to-date information, relief, and recovery resources. Ei- ther dial 2-1-1 or visit http://211norcal.org/te- hama/ and click on "Di- saster Resources" under the "Disaster Response" tab. The first 72 hours af- ter a disaster are critical. Utilities and telephones may not be working. In addition, public safety ser- vices such as police and fire departments may be busy in higher priority ar- eas. You should be pre- pared to be self-sufficient and be able to live without running water, electricity, gas and telephones for at least three days following any disaster Evacuate your animals whenever possible. Do not wait until the last minute. Create a list of friends, relatives, etc. who would be willing to board them. Familiarize yourself with organizations in the area that are prepared to rescue and shelter them. Temporary housing might include boarding stables, veterinarians and fairgrounds. Map-out al- ternate evacuation routes in advance. Access roads may be blocked, so plan alternate ways to get the animals off the property. If you must leave your pets behind, leave them loose inside your home with dry food and plenty of water. Never leave your pet chained outside or tied up. Place a notice out- side, stating what pets are home. Provide a contact phone number, and the name and number of your veterinarian. Emergency organiza- tions and personnel agree that proper advance plan- ning lessens the effects of disasters. So, the best thing you can do for your- self, your family, and your animals in the event of any emergency is to plan ahead before disaster strikes.
