Remember Your Pets
Create an emergency pet kit for your pet with extra food, water, medicine and supplies.
-
Find pet friendly hotels along your evacuation route and keep a list in your pet’s emergency kit.

Strengthen Your Home:
Have the proper plywood, steel or aluminum panels to board up the windows and doors. Remember, the garage door is the most vulnerable part of the home, so it must be able to withstand the winds.
And don’t forget to reach out to others who may need help.
