I just ran across this information from United Animal Nations. It seems quite complete, and offers advice and a supply list for dogs, cats, reptiles & amphibians, and horses.
http://www.uan.org/ears/disaster_tips.html

They also have brochures for spreading the word, $.30 each, although the first 5 are free. The brochures are pretty basic, and would fit in with your wanting to inform people without scaring them with too many details. I am thinking that a $20 order as a gift to my vet's office could get 65 people to start thinking about what could happen, and what they can do about it.

Great site Sue. I've tried to think things through regarding this issue, but there are some things here I left out. Thanks!

I would add three items to the first aid kit - Hydrogen Peroxide and active charcoal - both for poisoning - the HPer to induce vomiting and the charcoal to absorb toxins. I'd also include a muzzle. If the dog is injured, the dog may attempt to bite while you're working on him. Another thing to consider is dog "booties" if you're in a urban environment and may have to go through rubble.

I did not see this mentioned: CHIP YOUR PETS PEOPLE!!!!! I register my dog, make sure his shots are up to date, maintain a nice 6' fence. All that don't mean squat if he gets lost. A chip costs $34 and lasts forever. Get it done guys, it's worth it.

Usually you get the chips put in at vet's offices.. sometimes pounds/ shelters/resuces will chip an animla before it's adopted.
