I’ve had cats and I’ve had dogs. Regardless, they have always felt very much a part of my family. My concern for their care in an emergency is every bit as important to me as anyone else in my family. Here are some tips for you to implement in order to have peace of mind in case of an emergency.
1) Start training your pets now how to properly greet and interact with others. You must teach them when it is appropriate to “bark” now or you could compromise your safety in the future.

You've brought up several very good points I wouldn't have thought of. It's obvious you love animals. Yes, they really do become family members in their own way.
At the risk of sounding commercial, there is a company called QuakeKare (http://www.destinysurvival.com/a/quakekare) that sells a number of emergency/survival kits, including kits and related accessories for pets. Maybe other companies do it, too, but I was impressed that somebody put together a ready made kit for pets.

aww, I wanna puppy! I really don't, I have my hands full, but the pics are adorable! Another resource is your local feed store. They carry all pet immunizations for cheap. You just have to be comfortable giving shots. Remember to keep your receipts for shot records.
I would also recommend wee wee/training pads or an extra litter box and litter.
If you need to stay in your shelter for awhile your animals need sanitary place to go.
Those training pads will have a secondary use if you have some who is sick and confined to bed. They work for bed pans and the like.
I wholeheartedly agree with you!
