It's a good idea to have a friend or family member's phone number on the tag so that someone who finds your pet will be able to reach someone who knows you. Carry a photo of your pet with you for identification purposes.
Transport pets in secure pet carriers and keep pets on leashes or harnesses.
Most emergency shelters will not accept pets. Call hotels in safe areas and ask if you can bring your pets. If you and your pet can't stay together, contact friends, family, veterinarians and boarding kennels in safe areas to arrange for foster care. Be sure to pack a week's worth of food, water and other supplies such as cat litter and medication. If you have to be rescued, emergency officials may not allow you to take your pets so don't wait until the last minute to evacuate if you have animals.
