The behavior of your pets may change after an emergency. Normally quiet and friendly pets may become aggressive or defensive. Watch animals closely. Leash dogs and place them in a fenced yard with access to shelter and water. If after a disaster you have to leave town, take your pet with you.
Pets are unlikely to survive on their own.
Clean up spilled medicines, bleaches, gasoline, or other flammable liquids. Try to protect your home from further damage. Open windows and doors. Clean and disinfect everything that got wet. The mud left behind by floodwaters can contain sewage and chemicals.
