Getting prepared for storms- don't forget your pets!

Pinellas County, Florida -- When a storm comes to town residents are urged to evacuate with their pets.

Pinellas County pet owners have options when it comes to finding safe places to ride out a storm.

The best and most comfortable option for Pinellas County pet owners is a home of a friend, relative or coworker who lives outside of the evacuation zone. Arrangements should be made well in advance of the arrival of a storm.
