1) When disasters occur, people often worry about their pets and fail to escape because pets cannot get down or are lost. 2) The document proposes introducing a sensor system with resident cards for pets that would attach a small sensor to a pet's collar to identify them and track their location using GPS. 3) The sensor would be off during normal times but turn on during a disaster to allow rescue teams to locate pets using an image analysis system and reunite them with their families.

• A pet is one of a
family.
• We need a system
to save both people
and pets.
