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.
