EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS KITS

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!

WARNING!

​

DO NOT USE HANDWARMERS AS A HEAT SOURCE FOR EMERGENCIES! 

They are entirely too hot and you risk burning your animal or turning them into beef jerky. Only use UniHeat multii-pupose jumbo shipping warmers. 

​​​We have a fast growing and tight knit reptile community here in Alaska, but the weather is certainly not always on our side. We regularly have high winds, earthquakes, tsunami warnings and blizzards that cause widespread power outages, particularly in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. Palmer and Wasilla experience high winds on a regular basis in the winter and power outages are all too common.

​​If you lose power follow the recommendations in the document below. If you still have questions, submit a message through our contact page and a volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible.

If a disaster occures, can you still care for your reptiles? Alaska is prone to earthquakes, floods and windstroms. The latter is prevelent in the winter months and it's not uncommon for residents to lose power for extended periods of time. No electricity means no heat or UVB! There are also gas leaks and house fires to consider. Only one of these things can turn life topsy turvy so have a plan!
