Pet Safety Plan
Pack 7 days of pet food, water, medications, leash, carrier, bowls, and waste supplies.
Keep vaccination records, microchip info, and vet contact in your document pouch.
Identify at least two pet-friendly shelter or hotel options before evacuation orders are issued.
Never leave pets behind during evacuation. Transport early while roads are safer.
Ride-Out Plan (If You Are Not Evacuating)
Move to your safest interior space, away from windows and glass doors.
Charge all phones and battery packs. Keep radio, flashlights, and first aid within reach.
If floodwater enters, move to higher floors and avoid stepping into energized water.
Use generators outdoors only, far from windows, doors, and vents to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
