SHELTER AND EVACUATION <br />Public evacuation shelters are located either on school <br />campuses or at park and recreation facilities. Civil <br />Defense will announce which facilities will be opened <br />and which are pet -friendly. <br />Evacuation centers and hurricane shelters do NOT <br />provide amenities, just a space on the floor. You will <br />need to bring your supplies with you. For at least the <br />first 72 -hours, you will need to provide for even your <br />most basic needs and comforts such as cots, blankets, <br />meals, etc. <br />Pets must be in individual, hard - <br />sided pet carriers or crates, must <br />have all their own bowls, food and <br />water, blankets and a leash. They <br />will be kept in areas separate from <br />people and will not be able to stay <br />with your family. <br />Not all shelters may be pet friendly. Pet friendly shelters <br />require that you keep your pet in a crate or carrier, and <br />that your pets be kept in an area separate from people. <br />This can be stressful for your pet(s). <br />If your home is equipped to shelter -in-place and is built <br />after 1994, sheltering in place might be a possible <br />option. <br />If it is not safe to stay at home, do not hesitate to <br />evacuate to a public shelter. <br />
