Houston - Getting ready for a hurricane’s landfall means making sure everyone in your household is prepared, including your furry family members.
It’s important that the work in gathering essential items for your dog or cat and determining if your pets have their ID tags and are microchipped is done before a storm is bearing down, said Julie Kuenstle, a spokeswoman for the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Just as the humans in your family require an emergency kit with food, water and medications, pets also need one.
Their go bags will be a little different and should include things like chew toys, leashes and poop bags.
Pets can sense any stress their owners feel as they prepare for a hurricane, Kuenstle said.
People who decide to stay and ride out a storm should keep their pets close, Perea said.
Leaving pets behind, particularly if they’re left tied to a fence or chained in a backyard, can be deadly.
Most emergency operations centers during a natural disaster focus part of their work on animal rescues, Perea said.
During Hurricane Harvey in Houston in 2017, Kuenstle’s group rescued about 2,300 animals, including cats, dogs and horses, reuniting about 300 of them with their humans.
The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005 is filled with countless stories of residents not wanting to leave their flooded homes if they couldn’t bring their furry loved ones, Perea said.
