Keeping your animals safe during an emergency may be a challenge. Pets need protection from the elements and need a place to sleep. They also need to be fed. Luckily, there are several things you can do to help your animals during a disaster.

The first thing to do is to check with your local animal control agency or law enforcement. They can advise you on the best way to evacuate your animals. They will likely be able to direct you to places where your pets might be located.

You should also contact your veterinarian and ask them about the best methods to keep your animals healthy. They may be able to prescribe medication to calm your pets. They might even recommend a veterinary examination to determine if your pet is suffering from a minor illness.

If your pets are suffering from heat stress, you may want to scout out a cool spot in your home. Try to give your animals lots of cool, clean water in small amounts. You should also move them to a shady spot and spray them with cool water on their legs and feet.

You should also make sure to check out your local animal control agency’s website. They might have a free rescue alert sticker to put up on your car.
