This is part 3 in my Hurricane Preparedness series...
6. BOOK A HOTEL EARLY
If you are planning to evacuate, you need to plan ahead. Every county has shelters available, so that is always an option.
I start watching the storm early on and scout out 2 or 3 possible locations away from the storm. I have pets, so I need to stay in Pet-friendly hotels. The Amerisuites chain is always my first choice. They are pet-friendly and kid-friendly! I book rooms in several places for 7-10 days and then make adjustments for time and location as the storm approaches. By the time the storm is 3 days out, most of the hotel rooms in the state are already gone.
7. PETS
Have travel supplies ready for your pet, too. I have a cat and a sweet, 
little Yorkie who only barks when she is in a strange place, like a hotel room. A barking dog in a hotel is not very welcome, so she has a muzzle. She can drink while she is wearing it, but she doesn't bark and she won't disturb anyone.
