How To Keep Your Pets Safe During A Hurricane

Make sure that cats and dogs are wearing collars and identification tags.

Set up a pet disaster kit

Do not leave pets at home, especially if you live in an evacuation area.

Ask friends, relatives or others outside the area if they can shelter your animals.

Check with your local animal shelter.

Contact hotels and motels outside your area in advance to check policies on accepting pets and restrictions on number, size and species.
