Hurricane Preparedness

MAKE PLANS FOR YOUR PETS

If you have pets remember to plan for animal safety when making a Disaster Plan. 

Be sure you have up-to-date identification tags, a pet carrier and a leash for them. Assemble a disaster kit that you can provide to whomever assumes care of your pet during a disaster.

Most emergency shelters will not accept pets. In the event of evacuation, make alternative arrangements for pets, such as with family friends, veterinarians or kennels in safe locations. Send medicine, food, feeding information and other supplies with them. There are some local hotels which will accept pets during an emergency.
