Hurricane Evacuation Plan for Pets in Captiva?

9/3/2024 (Permalink)

We restore storm damage 24/7 in Lee County.

Our local team in Sanibel/Captiva Island/Fort Myers Beach wants everyone to be prepared to evacuate during a disaster when necessary. Here are some tips for assembling a portable pet disaster supplies kit from FloridaDisaster.org:

Whether you are away from home for a day or a week, you will need essential supplies to care for your pet. Keep items in an accessible place and store them in sturdy containers that can be carried easily (duffle bags, covered trash containers, etc.). Your pet disaster supply kit should include the following:

• Medications and medical records (stored in a waterproof container) and a first aid kit
• Sturdy leashes, harnesses, and carriers to transport pets safely and ensure that your animals cannot escape
• Photo of you and your pet(s) – in the event you are separated from your pet, having an updated photo with your pet will help validate pet ownership
• Food, potable water, bowls, cat litter/pan, and can opener
• Information on feeding schedules, medical conditions, behavior problems, and the name and number of your veterinarian in case you have to foster or board your pets
• Pet beds and toys, if easily transportable
