Plus, there’s always a chance that you might have to evacuate or leave home for safer ground. The last thing you want is to chase down a pet while trying to remain safe and calm.

You won’t have time to pet-proof the room in the middle of chaos, so move things as needed beforehand. This means making sure there are no corners that a pet can hide in, or any loose items that can fall on your furry friend, or toxic products nearby that your pet might try to eat.
6. Remain Calm
