When an emergency or disaster appears imminent bring your pets inside immediately. Animals have instincts about severe weather changes and will often isolate themselves if they are afraid. Bringing them inside early can stop them from running away. Never leave your pet outside or tied up during a storm. If after a disaster you have to leave town, take your pet with you.
Pets are unlikely to survive on their own.
Birds must eat daily to survive. In an emergency, you may have to leave your birds behind. Talk with your veterinarian or local pet store about special food dispensers that regulate the amount of food a bird is given. Make sure the bird is caged and the cage is covered by a thin cloth or sheet to provide security and filtered light. The behavior of your pet may change after an emergency or disaster.
