PETS

  • Bring in outside pets. If you must evacuate, take pets to your predetermined boarding place.
  • If you must leave pets behind, put them in an interior room with plenty of food and fresh water.
  • Do not tranquilize pets. They must be as alert as possible to survive.
  • Make sure all of your pets have identification and rabies tags.
  • Take a photo of your pet in case they get lost.

BOATS

  • Don't move your boat if it will take
    more than a few hours. You might get stranded aboard during a storm.

  • Place wooden blocks between the trailer frame and the axle inside each wheel.
  • Let out half the air of the trailer tires.
  • Fill the boat one-third full of fresh water to help hold it down.
  • Tie the boat to screw anchors secured in the ground. Consider a location away from trees.
  • Never remain aboard a boat during the storm.
