Hope you all will help me make a list of things to remember to keep my 4 dogs safe while I go on a vacation without them. I worry so much about it, that I almost don't want to go.

I will be away 2 weeks, and have responsible close friends/dog lovers staying in my home to dog sit. They did it last summer with no problems, but I'm getting anxiety again. They know the basics of what and what not to feed, potty habits, etc.. I feel I want to better prepare in case of an emergency, illness or escape. Please chime in and help me add to my list:

Vet name & number
A backup petsitter in case main ones have their own emergency leave
Reminders to check gates after gardener and pool man come.
Actions to take if one gets loose/lost. (I need to have photos and info ready to make posters, etc. but what else?)
Pet ID: they are microchipped, but I think I want collar ID on them also.
Instructions for evacuation (there have been 3 tsunami evacs in last 2 yrs).

Argggg, I'm getting sick just thinking of this, but feel preparation is important. I appreciate your help, so maybe I can go have a nice relaxing vacation.
