* Know your pets hiding places in and out of the house.
* Develop a pet buddy system. Pets, unlike service animals, may not be allowed in emergency shelters. Talk to your family, friends and neighbors. Plan how you will help each other in an emergency.
* Designate an out-of-state and a local friend or relative as contacts. A contact can be used by family members or others to call if you are separated from each other. Identify a location where you can reunite.
* Place Rescue Pet Decals on your windows and doors to alert rescue teams to save your pets inside the house
