The following information is provided in part by FEMA, HSUS and other sources
to help you plan for your pets in the event of a hurricane. The following
materials listed in the Pet Survival Kit are those which at a minimum need to be
assembled for the care of your pet whether you evacuate or remain at home to
weather the storm.
If You Must Evacuate, Please Do Not Leave Your Pets Behind! Pets
cannot survive on their own, and you may not be able to find them when you
return to your home. Currently, emergency shelters in Palm Beach County will not
accept pets. Call ahead to motels and hotels in safe areas to find out if they
will allow you to bring your pets. Work with the hotel manager to get "no
pets" policies temporarily lifted.
