Protect Family & Pets

Keep Seniors Safe

  • Severe weather can be frightening for the elderly. Physical challenges might limit their ability to leave their homes. They are also more prone to cardiac arrest due to stress during hurricane conditions.
  • Make a list of all their medications with dosage, doctor name and phone number, insurance information, family contact person.
  • Pack all medications and special medical equipment.
  • Transport them to a safe shelter.

Protect Your Pets

  • If your home isn’t safe for you, it isn’t safe for your pets. They might not be welcome at a shelter, however. Have a plan before there’s a storm. Check out video of some ways to ensure your pet's safety during a storm.
  • Ask friends or relatives if they can safely shelter your animals.
  • Make a pet-friendly hotel list.
  • Make a list of veterinarians and boarding facilities that shelter animals in an emergency.
