Pets can influence people's decision-making during disasters, potentially impacting the ability of emergency service responders to safely perform their duties. The loss of pets in disasters also has detrimental effects on people's health and wellbeing post-disaster. To better understand these issues and their implications for health promotion and disaster management practice, we conducted in-depth interviews with 27 emergency responders in Australia. We found that responders commit to a 'humans first' tenet, and while they do not consider themselves responsible for pets, decisions made with tragic consequences for pets exact an emotional toll. Community education was considered a key strategy for building people's capacity to reduce their risk in disasters. We question whether this is sufficient and adapt the five action areas of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion to account for the intermeshed lives of people and pets, while acknowledging human priority in disaster management policy and programming.
