Emergency Preparedness for Pets, Service Dogs & Families During Hurricanes

Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through the end of November — and preparation can save lives. In this episode of The Dog Gone Positive Way, we talk about what every pet parent and family should do BEFORE a storm is headed their way. We discuss hurricane preparedness kits for both people and pets, including food, water, medications, crates, leashes, first aid supplies, important paperwork, and emergency planning. We also dive into the unique challenges disabled individuals may face during evacuations and emergencies, including transportation, accessible shelters, backup medical equipment planning, and preparing with a service dog. Having a plan ahead of time can reduce stress, confusion, and panic when severe weather strikes. Whether you stay, evacuate, or need community shelter assistance, this episode is about helping you think ahead and protect the people and animals you love most. Because preparedness matters — for every member of the family. 🎧 Follow, like, and share The Dog Gone Positive Way to help us advocate for pets and empower pet parents. #TheDogGonePositiveWay #PositivePetParenting #EmergencyKit #disabilityawareness
