Protecting the Ones We Love!

Letter from the Editor

Year in Review

As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on a year filled with both positive and negative experiences.

On the positive side, we have seen an increase in the number of people preparing for emergencies involving their pets. We have received more inquiries than ever and have donated a greater amount of supplies this year to support disaster relief efforts and fundraising for pet rescues.

On the negative side, we continue to witness a rise in disasters and threats. Just yesterday, two terrorist attacks were reported—one in New Orleans and the other in Las Vegas. As of today, many people in North Carolina and Florida are still trying to rebuild their lives after the hurricanes, and across the U.S., we are still battling wildfires.

Over the past couple of months, we invited you to share your evacuation stories about yourself and your pets for a chance to win a FREE tactical first aid kit. Unfortunately, we did not receive any submissions for the contest. Therefore, we are excited to try again!

This time, we will be giving away the kit in June to coincide with Pet Emergency Preparedness Month. You can start submitting your story to info@petevacpak.com. All submissions received between now and May 30th will be considered. We look forward to hearing your experiences!

We would like to with everyone a safe and happy new year and remind you to make sure you are prepared for any disaster or emergency.

Did you Know?

According to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy:

The National Preparedness Level – set by the National Interagency Coordination Center and the National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group – is currently at Level 3, which means: ”Mobilization of resources nationally is required to sustain incident management operations in active geographic areas. National priorities are established to address the demand for shared resources among active geographic areas. There is a moderate to high probability that drawing down resources from non-active geographic areas may pose a risk should existing conditions change.”

The National Interagency Fire Center statistics show that as of Sept. 26, 2024, 38,143 fires this year have burned more than 7.8 million acres. The year-to-date (YTD) number of wildfires is below the annual average of 45,772, but the yearly acres burned is above the 10-year YTD average of 55.9 million acres. Currently, 34 large, active fires are being managed across the nation and have burned 1.6 million acres.

So what does this mean? If you live in an area prone to wildfires you need to be prepared to evacuate at a moments notice. Make sure you have enough supplies to sustain you, your family and your pets for at least 72 hours. Remember your neighbors will be in the same boat and store shelves empty rapidly during a disaster or emergency.
