EVACUATING WITH YOUR PET Think about where you will go with your pet and how you will get there if you have to leave home during an, emergency. In planning for an emergency evacuation: Arrange for family or friends outside of the affected area to shelter your pet. Identify animal-friendly hotels/motels outside of the affected area. . Talk with your local veterinarian, boarding kennel, or grooming facility to see if they can offer safe shelter for your pet during an emergency. Create a Go Bag for your pet or service animal (See Pet Go Bag Checklist). Practice evacuation plans to familiarize your pet with the process and increase his/her comfort level. Know your pet's hiding places so you can easily find him/ her during an emergency. Keep in mind a stressed pet may behave differently than normal and his/her aggression level may increase. Use a muzzle to prevent bites. Also be advised that panicked pets may try to flee. TIP: Pets in carriers are allowed on MTA subways, buses, and trains. When an evacuation order is declared, pets too large for carriers will also be allowed, provided those animals are muzzled and controlled on a sturdy leash no longer than four feet. The City will announce when this policy is in effect. Bring supplies to clean up after your animal. Only legal animals will be allowed. As a reminder, service animals are always allowed.
