Oh, yeah - I shouldn't have to say it, but - if anyone intends to evacuate & is unable to take your dog, cat, goat, shetland pony, honey badger, etc. with you:

Please don't tie him / her to a tree, stake, or any other stationary object which might result in death by: drowning, starvation, foreign animal attack, etc. Animals do a remarkable job of caring for themselves, but not if you've nullified their ability to do so. Please do all you can to attend to your furry friend, but if they absolutely can't travel with you, at least give them a fighting chance.
