Preparing Your Pet for a Storm
Although your pet is a member of your family, during a storm special considerations and precautions may be required in order to protect them.
- Pets can become easily frightened and strange or loud noises, changes in barometric pressure, and fear sensed from other family members can cause your pet to panic.
- A pet must be protected from his/her own reaction to the disaster. A loud tornado or hurricane can cause a scared animal to panic and to try to break free to run away.
- Very few pets missing from a disaster are ever recovered alive, most are never found.
