he recent disaster in Japan hasjust about everyone thinkingabout disaster preparedness, par-ticularly when you live in a statewith a history of earthquakes, a
bunch of coastline and a couple ofnuclear power plants. I’m certain you willwant to include your pets in any and allpreparations you make — so here’s aquick list of items you should have onhand in case of a disaster where you haveto evacuate quickly.
You should have one carrier per pet. Iknow us cat owners can get a little slackabout this, keeping one carrier aroundand trading off which cat goes to the veton what day, but if there’s an emergencyat your house you’ll need a separate onefor each cat, so why not go ahead and getthem now? I also highly recommend get-ting one for the dog, even if your dog hasnever needed to know the inside of a crate
during theirtraining years.Should the disas-ter be one whereyou are out ofyour home for abit; a fire, flood orearthquake, youand your dog willboth appreciatehaving a placewhere they cango and rest,secure fromeverything elsegoing on aroundthem. There aremany excellentcrates that foldup and down like
card tables, so grab yourself one per dogand have them on hand.
Get a duffel bag and put in the essen-tials you will need for a week or so foryour pets. You should include food, fooddishes, an extra leash and collar, a fewdays worth of medication, a plastic cat lit-ter tray and cat litter. It sounds like a lot,but remember that in the event of a trueemergency there’s a good chance the cor-ner store won’t be open to help you out,should you forget something.
Freeze-dried food is very light and has agreat shelf life, followed by canned food. Ifyou add canned food to your kit, remem-ber to include a can opener. Lightweightplastic dishes can be temporary food andwater dishes, and there are plenty oflighter alternatives to clay or “scoopable”litter that are great cat box options. Ifthere’s room, add in a few toys or treats.Include a paper with your veterinarian’sname, address and phone number. Final-ly, include a few photos of each of your
pets, should they become separated fromyou.
Once you’ve got the duffel packed,make sure you place a stash of drinkablewater in plastic containers next to thebag, ready to grab and go. Add a few blan-kets or towels on top of the duffel bag touse in the carriers, or to replace any tow-els that might get soiled.
Check your pet’s ID tags and make surethey include a cell phone number. Havingyour home phone number isn’t going tohelp if you’ve been evacuated and some-one is trying to get your lost pet back toyou. If you have your pets microchipped,make sure your contact information isupdated with the microchip company,including a cell phone number.
Finally, make sure these items arestored some place where they can bequickly and easily accessed. Having carri-ers stashed out in the back shed or in the
rafters of the garage won’t help if you’vegot to move quickly.
Check the contents of your disaster kit acouple of times a year so you can rotateout old items and replace them with freshones. A great time to do this is when youchange the time on your clocks, much likeyou check your batteries in your smokedetectors.
Remember, in the event of an emer-gency, a little preparation can go a longway to keeping your four-footed familymembers safe.
P.S. The Search Dog Foundation hasdeployed teams from California to helpvictims of the Japan Earthquake/Tsuna-mi. For the price of a cup of coffee, youcan help support their efforts. Head towww.searchdogfoundation.org for details.

ne local company recent-ly applied a little ingenu-ity to increase recyclingefforts — a practice thathas been shown to be val-
ued by both customers andemployees in recent studies, and asa result, reduced their waste bill by$800 per month.
Safelite AutoGlass is the nation’slargest provider of vehicle glassrepair and replacement serviceswith 87 warehouses that store theglass and parts across the country,including one in Bakersfield. Manyof the materials used at the ware-house are not easily recycled.
But recently, the Bakersfieldwarehouse manager, Don Stuck,started calling around to find acompany that could recycle thevarious byproducts of the ware-house operation (razorblades, wire,glass cleaner, urethane tubes,paper, wood pallets and card-board).He found three solutions:
1. To recycle razorblades, wire,
glass cleaner aerosol, urethanetubes, and paper, the store is part-nering with Smurfit, a packagingcompany that has recycling opera-tions in the US and Canada. Smur-fit provides a free service thatallows the team to recycle thebyproducts created by the ware-house. They provide containers forcollection and pick them up whenthe team calls to notify them thecontainer is full.
2. For the cardboard, they utilizeBARC, a local recycling facility inBakersfield. The team collects thecardboard at the warehouse. Then,when they have enough to fill atruck, they drop it off at the BARCfacility, a few miles from our loca-tion.
3. For the wood pallets used inshipping windshields, the storeships them back to Safelite’s distri-bution center in Ontario, Calif., forrecycling.
Thanks to their results, some ofBakersfield recycling efforts arebeing reviewed for a national roll-out.

pring is upon us and so isEarth Day. On April 16, theCalifornia State ParksFoundation’s 14th annualEarth Day Restoration and
Cleanup, presented by PG&E, istalking place at Tule Elk State Nat-ural Reserve. Volunteers of all agesare needed to help with fenceremoval and replacement, refur-bish picnic shelters, remove non-native vegetation and plant trees inthe park picnic area.
Communities are encouraged tohelp maintain the beauty of Califor-nia’s treasured state parks. This yearmarks the 10th anniversary of thepartnership between CSPF andPG&E — and this year the companyis funding projects at 18 parks innorthern and central California.
With continued budget cutslooming in to 2012 for state parks,volunteers are more important
than ever to keep the parks in cleanand safe conditions for all to visitand enjoy.
Statewide, thousands of volun-teers each year plant native treesand community gardens, restoretrails and wildlife habitats, buildinterpretative displays, removegraffiti and trash from beaches andparklands and make overduerepairs to fences and boardwalks.
Since 1998, CSPF’s Earth DayRestoration and Cleanup programhas had a tremendous impact —70,812 participants have con-tributed more than 296,250 volun-teer hours worth nearly $5.9 millionin park maintenance and improve-ments. More than $3.6 million hasbeen raised for the Earth Day pro-gram throughout California.
Individuals or groups interestedin volunteering on Earth Day cancall the Earth Day hotline at 1-888-98-PARKS or, register online at: cal-parks.org.
