Need info from people living in earthquake zones.

Due to living in earthquake country it is drummed into you to make sure you have adequate supplies of food and water to last at least 3days.We are also told to make provivsions for our pets as well including food and water for them.I have 18 3ltr bottles of water put away along with dry bags of cat and dog food and bird food.the turtle however does present more of a challenge to say the least.I have not quite figured out how to handle him should that arise.I have pet carriers at the ready put away in the outside shed for the cats.However with the devastating earthquakes that struck Christchurch many people found that they were not allowed to take their pets with them to emergency shelters so this is also something to bear in mind should the unthinkable ever happen.I would like to think that we would survive for a week or more at least.If possible make sure that your pets have i.d. like a micro chip or tag so if they take off and are found hopefully you will be reunited.There are still so many unclaimed animals at the local rescue shelters from the earthquakes.It's also very handy too keep all your pets documents in a water proof zip lock type bag to prevent water or other damage excluding fire of course.
