Storm Safety Tips

• Do NOT set pets loose. They will not “be OK.”
• Bring your pets indoors at the first signs of a storm. Conditions could deteriorate quickly.
• If you have animals that are likely to run and hide, keep them on a leash or in a carrier so that they are safe, secure, and ready to go should you need to evacuate.
• Put together a grab-and-go emergency pet supply kit. In addition to medications, vaccination records, leash, and favorite toy, include three to four days of pet food and a gallon of bottled water per pet, per day.
•  Understand that at pet-friendly shelters, you will be responsible for the care of your pet.

PET-FRIENDLY SHELTERS

Pet-friendly shelters provide shelter to evacuees and their pets.  Only household pets, including dogs, cats, birds and rabbits, are allowed in pet-friendly shelters.   

• Pets must be current on vaccinations
• Pets must be properly caged or crated
• Pets may be sheltered separate from owners
• Owners are required to care for pets 

PLEASE NOTE: NO REPTILES ARE ACCEPTED
