With the impending hurricane and storm warnings, please do not leave your pets behind! Some helpful tips include making a checklist that includes your pet(s). Have leashes, pet collars w/ID tags, meds, carriers/crates, car seatbelts, blankets, several days worth of food and water, current photos of your pets, and emergency info ready to go along with your own emergency plan. Have your pet's vaccination records with you in case evac shelters need to see them. Let other family members know of your plan. Have contact phone numbers with you. Charge your cell phone batteries and have a battery or car charger back-up. Have a flashlight and portable radio with fresh batteries handy. Be sure your vehicle has pet seatbelts or pet restraints and that your fuel tank is full in case of evacuation.

I like your updates! I checked out my local resource page on facebook and they seem to have it all covered too!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do it, but you always share great info when it comes to pet safety. So glad you made this info available to folks. I cannot imagine leaving my dogs behind, but I know for a lot of people there seems to be no alternative. So much has changed since Hurricane Katrina. So many more resources are available to folks. Your list is awesome.
