Natural disaster preparedness / evacuation

[KrissyLeigh]

So hurricane season is almost upon us again, and I am putting together my emergency / evacuation boxes. I have 2 tortoises, a bearded dragon, turtle, crested gecko, hognose snake, 2 rats, 2 dogs, and a leopard gecko so it's quite a process. Anyway, I have set aside water, pellet food where applicable, and carriers. Wondering if I should include any other pet related items in the go box... thoughts?

I was once stuck in an evacuation route for 10 hours, and that was with everything going smoothly. So I want to be prepared!

Portable warmers, like the ones you get from reptile shipping companies that last for long times. It might not make a difference in a natural disaster, but have some sort of labeling on your windows notifying rescuers that there are animals in the house and what type. Just in case something happens to you.
Blankets are good to have. Plus you should have an all around health emergency kit for accidents. I have a very extensive one because I have so many critters, you never know what you need. Off the top of my head this is what I have:

Betadine
Curad Silver Solution
Chlorexidine for oral use and one for topical wound cleansing.
Sterile saline
Activated Charcoal in case they ingest a harmful bug
Pedialyte or plain coconut water-I prefer plain coconut water
Syringes with and without needles
Plastic eye droppers
Q-tips
Gauze
Sharp scissors

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, I might have more LOL!
