Your pets count on you to plan for their survival in the event of a disaster. Shelters do not accept pets. Plan ahead where you will take them. When left behind in a disaster, pets routinely escape.
Pets are likely to die of exposure, starvation, predators, contaminated food or water.
Pets of different species left together may react more strongly toward each other than normal. Pets are your companions. If you plan ahead they can be with you. If they are unable to house your pets, arrange shelter for them through a veterinarian or kennel near to where you are staying. Leave as soon as you can.
