This study is based on an examination of the actual situation and emergent issues in the “evacuation and sheltering of people and their pets” in areas affected by the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake. At six evacuation centers that the author visited, owner-pet acceptance was realized through “collaboration” and “communication” among evacuees, evacuation center operators, and disaster NPOs rather than well-established pre-disaster plans. In some cases, however, pet-owners had to choose a different evacuation site due to changes in the number of evacuees, shelter environment, and conditions in the affected area. Based on these cases, issues related to the “three types of evacuation/sheltering for people and pets” were identified: “evacuation with pets”, “sheltering with pets”, and “distributed evacuation”. From this typology, we derived a tentative theory of the connection between “inclusive disaster prevention” and “disaster preparedness for people and pets” which will contribute disaster prevention and mitigation that can better serve everyone, both people and pets.
