Protecting Your Pets
Okay, so you have your disaster preparedness kit all ready to go. Clothes, flashlights, bottled water, first aid kit etc. You know the best escape route; you have found the closest shelter and timed how long it will take you to get from your driveway to its parking lot. Outstanding!
But what about your pets? Does the shelter you chose actually accept pets? If not, they will simply not let you in - a difficult spot to be in when hundred-mile-an-hour winds are approaching from the west!

And, if you have planned an escape route and chosen the hotels/motels you would head to - have you checked to see whether they accept pets? Now is the best time.
How about a preparedness kit for your pet? Food, water (most of them don't drink from Evian bottles - maybe a bowl is a good idea). Perhaps moist food would be better because it will help reduce dehydration. Dry food should be kept in airtight containers because there might be a lot of humidity and water in the air. You will need at least 7 days of food for your pet (chances are that he/she won't care much for the canned ravioli you would end up sharing - or maybe he will!)
