4 ways to prepare your pets for Hawaii’s next emergency

Hawaii is no stranger to natural disasters. The islands were created and continue to expand through volcanic eruptions, while annual Pacific hurricanes and tropical storms threaten our shores each May through November. It’s important for all Hawaii residents to maintain an emergency kit in the event of any natural disaster, including storms, tsunamis, earthquakes or more volcanic activity.

In the midst of preparing your family for a worst-case scenario, don’t forget to keep your pets in mind. The Hawaiian Humane Society in Honolulu has plenty of great tips for how to plan for your pets. In addition, Allison Gammel, the organization’s Community Relations Director, shares insights on what local animal lovers might do to keep their furry friends safe.
