LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT OUR PETS!

Pets are like family --- it is critical that you plan ahead for them too!

Depending on the size of a storm or hurricane a pet shelter may or may not be opened. Plan

ahead for all scenarios!

IF YOU SHELTER IN PLACE AT HOME OR AT THE HOME OF A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER:

Have five gallons of water for pet drinking water.

Have moist or canned food so pets will drink less.

Have your pet carrier and pet’s vet papers ready.

Make sure that your cell phone # is on your pet’s tag

and have a photo of your pet.

Find out which hotels in the area are pet friendly.

Find out which boarding places or kennels are

available.

Have a go-bag for your pet to include:

Listen to the radio to learn about pet shelters!

PET SHELTERS

IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!

Pet shelters may or may not be opened – depending on the size, scope, magnitude, expected

duration of the storm and whether or not there are mandatory evacuations. It is critical that

you be a responsible pet owner by becoming informed about pet shelter openings!

LISTEN to the radio for information about the opening of a pet shelter.

WATCH the television to learn about the opening of a pet shelter.

LISTEN to Emergency Management about the opening of a pet shelter.

IF A PET SHELTER IS OPENED AND YOU TAKE YOUR PET TO THE SHELTER:

Make sure that your pet is wearing a collar

Bring photo of your pet to the pet shelter

Bring your pet’s vet papers & meds to the pet shelter

Bring your pet’s food to the pet shelter

Give the shelter your contact information

Bring your pet’s supplies to the pet shelter

Remember that pet shelters are for pets only so you will have to say a “temporary

goodbye” to your pet. Your pet will be safe and in good hands!
