Norfolk, Va. – Ahead of National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day (May 8), PETA is offering vital advice to help ensure the safety of animals during inclement weather, including hurricanes and other storms.
Would you please provide your audience with the following key information? It could save the lives of cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and other animals, who should always be included in disaster-preparedness plans:
Keep animals
if you choose not to evacuate. Never leave them tethered, penned, or crated.
If you evacuate, do not leave animals behind, as they could drown or be killed by collapsing roofs or falling debris. Never think it may be safe to leave animals unsupervised in a car they could suffer from heatstroke once the ambient temperature rises above 70 degrees, and the car could even be overturned, crushed, or flooded during a significant storm.
