Disaster Preparedness
Planning Ahead for Your Pet’s Safety
Hurricane season runs from June through the end of November. In the event of evacuation for a hurricane or other disaster, residents and pets should come prepared with a pet disaster preparedness kit —shelters do not stock supplies.
Where to Shelter
According to the Department of Emergency Management, City and County of Honolulu, all of Oahu’s evacuation shelters are considered pet accommodating. Monitor local media and official social media sites for specifics and updates. Based on the type of disaster and other circumstances, not all shelters will be open and facilities other than those listed may be used.
