Definitely! Spend some time at Floridadisaster.org. You'll find a lot of help there before and after impact including shelter maps and other information about assistance for recovery.

[MENTION=5756]tanito00[/MENTION] Yea we are ready, this will be our second hurricane at the new house. We made it through Irene fine but not everyone else did, I had friends w/o power for 6-8 days, fortunately our community has underground power lines so hopefully we are okay and don't get water in the house. Bacon does love swimming and our yard has turned into a small pond on occasion so it may be fun :-)

It will be Bacon's first hurricane as well, I'm not worried about him being scared. We live in a neighborhood full of pyro's that love to shoot off mortars all times of the year, myself included. Thunderstorms don't even phase him

I just skimmed through the link and didn't see this mentioned. But your very first disaster preparedness to-do is to make sure your pet is registered. Remember, in most counties in Florida, your pet registration is only good for one year unless you get the 3-year rabbies vaccine then you may have the option of applying for a 3-year license. Why register? None of the pet shelters will take your dog if it is not registered...

Every state is different, i guess, here in PA you must have dog license every year and if microchipped you can get a lifetime license
