Reminder for pet owners:

If conditions aren’t safe for you, they also aren’t safe for your pets. Never leave them outside in a storm. Keep all of their important paperwork, some food, toys, a blanket, their carrier and a leash with your emergency kits so they have everything they need if you have to suddenly leave. Try to keep them in the same room with you to help keep them calm and to quickly gather them in case you need to get out in a hurry. The Humane Society has emergency shelters and resources set up all over the East Coast right now to help.
