Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do with my pets during a hurricane?
 
  • Place your pet in a pet carrier and bring them along with you when evacuating.
  • If you have more than one or two animals, you will need to find an alternative evacuation solution.  Note that there are organizations that offer assistance with animals during emergencies. Local EMC’s may attempt to make contact with those organizations and if successful will make announcements on where and what to do during the emergency.
  • If you have a need for hotel accomodations that will accomodate pets, you can find that information by clicking HERE.  Then select the city you are interested in – go down to amenities – click the box (pets welcome) – hit enter and you will get a list of hotels that accept pets.

NOTE: No pets will be allowed on State provided buses without a carrier.

If I need transportation to evacuate during an emergency, where do I go in Port Neches to get a ride?
