The single most important thing you can do to protect your pets in an emergency is to take them with you when you evacuate. Unfortunately, many evacuation shelters don’t accept pets (with the exclusion of service animals), so you must plan ahead to ensure that your family and your pets will have a safe place to stay. Below is a list of the pet-friendly shelters in Brevard County:

- VIERA: Viera Regional Community Center, 2300 Judge Fran Jamieson Way
