I learned something in the Iselle evacuation that may help others:
A friend advised me to get my cats into one area EARLY (a day or more if you have enough advanced warning)(I had them in our office the Wed. before Iselle hit) and have their crates open in the room for a day or so to get them used to the crate (I have 2 semi-reformed feral cats along with a cool cat stray, one still did NOT want to go into the crate...the stray kinda took up sleeping in it...) This made it soo much easier to get them into the crates when I realized that evacuating might be the best idea.
Also, I used a disposable container in the crate for a litter tray (not needed in the quick Iselle evacuation, but maybe in a multi-day scenario...)
