IFAW preparing for Hurricane Milton response

At IFAW, we remain on the ground, responding to the needs of animals and people in the aftermath of Helene, while gearing up for Milton's potential destruction. We are participating in state-level planning calls to support temporary shelters in Georgia for evacuees from Florida. IFAW disaster responders remain in North Carolina following Hurricane Helene supporting co-located shelters and will remain to help with recovery efforts.

Earlier in the week, Milton barreled across the Yucatan Peninsula, where the governments of Yucatan State and Quintana Roo, Mexico, prepared temporary shelters for people and their pets. Two shelters in Quintana Roo are utilising IFAW-provided hurricane shelter kits.

In disasters like these, it is vital to be prepared and have an evacuation plan for your family and pets.
