I'm a volunteer with an organization that does emergency anaimal sheltering in disasters (and puppy-mill raids, and hoarder siezures) and I'm just waiting to hear if we've gotten called in. I hope everyone else on this list (and their pets) is safe.
By the way, this Saturday March 10 (the one-year anaiversary of the Japan earthquake) the TV show Must Love Cats on Animal Planet is visiting Japan. Part of the show will cover the still ongoing rescue efferts for the pets still trapped in the nuclear exclusion zone. You can go to http://www.japancatnet.org for more info.
You can also go to http://www.wisconsinwags.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=214 to view a series of posts I wrote on emergency planning for pet owners (under the pen-name of Redshirt). Now I've got to get busy and finish the series.
We don't mind you to post them here too.
I think fish would be the hardest to take care of in case of an emergency or disaster. You just can't carry the fish tank with you lol. It is easy to get your dogs and cats into a car and run for it.
