 As for more severe weather, such as twisters or hurricanes, have an evacuation plan mapped out in advance. Put together a pet evacuation kit with several days' food, medicine, first aid kit, and other travel supplies, including medical records. Make sure your pet has proper identification, including microchip, and contact your veterinarian if you need more specifics on how to prepare.
