I feel sorry for the animals in a disaster like this. There often is no safety net for them. A few years back the Missouri River flooded and a lot of people were temporarily displaced in Eastern Nebraska. Of course it was nothing nearly as severe as a hurricane. But people had to find temporary shelter and sometimes couldn't have their pets with them. There were people who stepped up and offered to foster pets until their families could return home. I thought that was kind. It helps too if they are chipped, easier to find them if they get separated from their people.
Yes, animals seems so especially helpless in these situations. Now with all the cats I'm taking care of, I worry about them a lot because I can't really control their environment very well. But my earlier four indoor cats were all micro-chipped just in case.
