Your pet needs you

• In the first few days after the disaster, pets may behave erratically. Leash them when they go outside.
• Always maintain close contact. Familiar scents and landmarks may be altered and your pet may become confused and lost.
• If you must leave town after a disaster, take your pets with you. They won't survive on their own.
• Also, snakes and other dangerous animals may be brought into the area with flood waters and fire.
  
• Be kind and patient. Keep in mind that your pets don't understand what happened. They trust you for protection and comfort.
