Pet emergency kit help please?

What should I put in a emergency kit for my pets. We have birds, dogs, fish, and a rabbit?
Please give me a detailed list for each of our species of pets.
PLEASE NO RUDE ANSWERS.
Answers:
I wasn't too surprised to find that there are companies that market emergency kits for pets. While I don't think you need to buy one of these packages, you can use their contents to guide you in getting supplies for your pets.
In general, just think of the supplies you use in a week or a month and have them on hand packaged in some way that they won't be ruined by water or mud. I'd use Rubbermaid totes and seal them with duct tape. Of course you can't put perishables in them--don't forget that.
Here's the site that sells dog emergency kits:

(2) Emergency Lightsticks - with lanyards.
(2) Leads - collar %26 leash.
(2) Dog Toys - vinyl chewable toys (assorted).
(2) Bowls - collapsible bowls hold 40 oz.
(20) Water Purification Tablets - 1 tablet purifies 1 liter. (1) Deluxe Pet First Aid Kit - pet emergencies from head to tail! (
12) Sanitation/Poop Bags - maintain sanitary conditions. (1) Rope - 50' of vinyl cord; create runner or tie down. (1) Decal - Emergency Pet Alert Sticker to put on door/window.
(1) Packaged in 3-1/2 Gallon Waterproof Container
The site here:
http://www.survivormall.com/index.asp?pa...
offers a pet first aid kit that would help your furry pets.
For your birds, you'd need food, grit, and water.
For your bunny, you need food, water, chewable things, timothy hay and some toys. A grooming brush would be good, too.
For your fish? They're easier--water (if it's going to be a long emergency) and food.
