Pet Kit

Experience has shown that when disaster strikes, pet owners will not abandon their pets. In the best case scenario, pets remain with you if your home is habitable or if you are staying in the backyard should your home not be habitable. Should you need to go to a Red Cross shelter, pets are not allowed inside the shelter. You can, however, bring a cage/carrier and your pet will stay in a pet area outside of the Red Cross shelter.
