@themeritpitbull The PETS Act requires governments that get FEMA assistance to make plans for pets during disasters. These plans may address evacuation and shelters. People evacuating w/pets should contact their local emergency management agency to locate pet-friendly shelters.

[FEMA Live @FEMAlive]

@thomas_chips Local officials are sharing specific evacuation routes people should take, since routes vary by location. Best thing to do is stay tuned in to their guidance. We have many local accounts compiled in a twitter list: https://t.co/Hjaa7zuan2
