Excellent post!
Since we are by the ocean, my precious baby dog got a life vest from his Aunty as a gift. Although it sounds funny, I have his 3 day bag packed ready to go too with ours for any emergency evacuation.
Please include any meds your dog takes in their 3-day bag. Better to get extra leashes and just store it in the bag, especially if you have more than 1 dog. No need to spend valuable time looking for them when you can have them packed already. This is a good time to get them an extra blankie too. When it all gets crazy, they will have their known blankie and it will help them stay calm.
For cats, have their carrier ready with the 3 day bag inside it. It takes longer to get them into carriers so you call pull the 3 day bag out when you get to a safe location.
The most important thing is that pets will get a little wobbly / frightened but as long as you are with them, they will be okay.
I can not even imagine not taking pets, any pets with me.
