Hey guys, just gonna copy my fb post here too:

Friends with pets in the potential path of Irma, make sure your pets are up to date on vaccinations and that you have vaccinations and health certificates in case of out of state evacuation or if you need to go to a shelter. Remember not all shelters are pet friendly either. Make sure your dogs are wearing identification, cats are in carriers, and you have food and water for them, as well as any medication they take, for at least a week. Have muzzles on hand for dogs who are fear reactive, dog aggressive, or who may bite those trying to help them do to stress and fear. Have a plan that includes the saftey of your best friends. If you don’t have records, call your veterinarian and they can email or print them out for you. Many pets go missing during natural disasters, your pets cannot prepare for themselves, you need to prepare for them.

EDIT: Things like orange saftey vests and life preservers are always great, especially for senior dogs, or those with limited mobility. Puppies and small dogs will benefit as well. Makes them visible in case they get lost and helps them keep their heads above water with less effort and for longer.

Irma is currently category 5, places are quickly running out of water here in FL, so please know you might be standing in a very long line. If you cannot do this or there is no more bottled water, fill your clean bathtubs and big buckets with tap water. 

Know your flood and evacuation zones. Take care of yourselves, leave if you are on coastal areas. Those of you on the eastern coast and even on the gulf, prepare as well. 

Connect with friends, tell them where you will be and if you need them to check on you via phone or text. Tell them if you are leaving and when you will get to your destination. Keep in contact.
