If you must evacuate, take pets to your pre-determined boarding place. If you must leave pets behind, put them in an interior room with plenty of food and fresh water. Make sure all your pets have identification and rabies tags. If your safety plan for your boat requires you to pilot it to another location, don't move it if it's going to take more than a few hours. Many lives are foolishly lost because people get stranded aboard or try to ride out a hurricane on their boat.
