Minor Threats
There are many situations when you do not need to evacuate, but are advised to find shelter within your own home:
- Identify a safe area of your home where you can all stay together.
- Keep dogs on leashes and cats in carriers, and make sure they are wearing identification in case the house is damaged and they escape.
- Have any medications and a supply of companion animal food and water inside watertight containers, along with other emergency supplies. See Emergency Kit Lists for guidance.
