    Plan ahead for your Pets

    Creating a disaster plan is crucial for safeguarding your family, including pets and larger animals like livestock. Never leave them behind during an evacuation, as they are unlikely to survive alone. Contact hotels and motels beyond your immediate area to understand their pet policies and keep a list of pet-friendly accommodations.  Websites like Pet’s Welcome can help you locate pet-friendly hotels and motels.
