Right now anyone living in a coastal city must be asking this question. There are a number of storms out there that could be a problem, but anyone in the path of Florence must be very worried. It is a serious hurricane. I am hoping that by now anyone in danger has already evacuated. If not the advice in this article might help.

The advice is good for any disaster situation. We should be prepared just in case and we should act quickly enough that we can get to safety. Of course it goes without saying that no pet should be left behind.
There are shelters available for those fleeing Florence with their pets.

If someone is still trying to find a place I hope they find this article.
Right now where I am in Toronto I know the storm could swing inward and we would feel its effects. I am prepared to survive a power outage. I am able to keep my animals warm and safe at home.
Evacuation would be hard, but it could be done. Where I would go would depend on why I am evacuating.
With the effects of global warming becoming unpleasantly real anyone with pets needs to look at the local dangers and have a plan, just in case.
