The effort started!

Suddenly my companions were building disaster kits for each of their cars and the house. They even talked about what I would need! I sat with them and barked encouragement when they were on the right path. Web searches followed and valuable checklists began to appear. They had Red Cross information like this one and this one, and this one and another from Ready.gov. This was good stuff. They paid attention to my excitement. It's a good think the internet has pictures. Not to mention voice to text software that translates my barking too!
