After the 2003 fires in SoCal where several people we knew lost houses with dogs inside, we did a lot of serious planning. I'm a show breeder, and my 'show rig' is always stocked and ready to go in an emergency. We make sure it's cleaned, repacked and prepped after each show weekend so we're always ready to go.

First thing I did was leash up all the dogs and take them to the basement. They went calmly and cheerfully - training them to react to my commands this way even when I'm in a rush was the most important preparation I did.
