Power outages and evacuees
Storm-season dog boarding in Tallahassee.
When a hurricane threatens the Gulf coast, many people drive to Tallahassee, and local kennels fill fast. Storms also bring long outages and fallen limbs.
What to ask before a storm.
Plan early and ask about backup power and what happens if you cannot return.
- Ask whether the facility has a generator and how long it can run.
- Confirm how the provider reaches you if conditions change.
- Evacuee demand can fill kennels days before landfall.
- Fallen oaks and limbs can block roads, which may delay pickup.
- Bring extra food and written medication instructions.
- Ask about their policy if you cannot return on schedule.
