Living in Florida, we are always aware of the possibility of having to leave for a Hurricane. Here's a list of important things to make sure you have:
- Food. Keep several days’ supply of food in an airtight, waterproof container.
- Water. Store a water bowl and several days’ supply of water.
- Medicine. Keep an extra supply of the medicine your pet takes on a regular basis in a waterproof container.
- First aid kit. Talk to your veterinarian about what is most appropriate for your pet’s emergency medical needs.
- Collar with ID tag and a harness or leash. Include a backup leash, collar and ID tag. Have copies of your pet’s registration information and other relevant documents in a waterproof container and available electronically.
- Traveling bag, crate or sturdy carrier, ideally one for each pet.
- Grooming items. Pet shampoo, conditioner and other items, in case your pet needs some cleaning up.
- Sanitation needs. Include pet litter and litter box (if appropriate), newspapers, paper towels, plastic trash bags and household chlorine bleach to provide for your pet’s sanitation needs.
- A picture of you and your pet together. If you become separated from your pet during an emergency, a picture of you and your pet together will help you document ownership and allow others to assist you in identifying your pet.
- Familiar items. Put favorite toys, treats or bedding in your kit. Familiar items can help reduce stress for your pet.
Here's Raz checking out the big tent we use if there is a storm heading our way!
We thought the Lightning effect in Painnt was purrfect and added a frame with Pizap.
And we made a puzzle!

Excellent reminder and we need to see that several times a year. Thank you.
We cannot keep collars on Da Boyz, but it's something to think about should an emergency occur.
Terrific post; thanks!
I'm off to puzzle.
Great tips and I love your art. Thanks for the puzzle. XO
That's a good list and a good plan ahead of time sure is important.
RAZ well done checking on the tent to be sure you and your sisters are nice and dry.
My grand kitties have a check list too. They live on the NC coast
Hugs cecilia
Must be really stressful.
Beautiful art!
Yes indeed you guys down in Florida-land need to be purrpared but these days storms and emergencies because of weather seem to be happening all over the place. Everyone should at least have a plan.....just makes sense with tornadoes, hurricanes, and everything else that is plaguing us in the weather department this past year or so!!
Love the tent - AND the artwork...........
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
That is great art. Your preparation tips are so helpful. We had never thought of having a picture of you and your pet together.
Great tips. I hope we never need anything like them up here but you never know.
Good advice!
Great art and thanks for the puzzle.
Good advice.
We have often wondered what to do in case of an air raid warning...
