Hey, praying for you guys!!!
Since we travel all over in a 5th wheel with our gliders, I keep a emergency/ evacuation bag for my two. It consists of a
pop up dog kennel, 2 bottled water, large pieces of fleece, their nail clipper set, a medical kit and ecollar, spare dishes, zipties, Happy Glider kibble, and Critter Love complete in its powder form, a small lidded bowl to mix it in.
There is enough for 5 days.
We live near Joplin, MO and spent a couple of years in tornado alley while working. We have had to evacuate to a storm shelter several times. I hope this helps.
Please keep us posted if you can and be safe...

Here is a post about shipping gliders: shipping gliders. When you ship two they both go into the inner container.

I am going to move this to Board Help & Announcements. I apologize for not doing this for Harvey. We also have another hurricane forming right behind Irma

My thoughts and prayers are with you guys in Fl, as they were with Texas last week, and still.
I'm gonna have to ask a honest question though, because I don't quite get the connection and I'm curious. Why are you asking about shipping? I'm not trying to be rude, I just don't understand the reason behind shipping them at this time.
I have to agree with Karen, and Dawn. Have an emergency/evac kit handy to grab and run. Try to be prepared if you have to evacuate so everyone can make it safely and you have needed provisions. I also recommend trying to find alternate "safe" places, even if it means staying with other family and/or friends that are in a safer area, are able and willing to help "hold safe" you, and your loved ones, even if evac is not mandatory, but it could provide better safety conditions.

I'm in Orlando and so not in direct harms way but still was worried. I put together an evac bag, which has food and water, clippers, straws and toy stuff for them, zip ties, etc. I did this for my 3 animals. This way if we need to go we can. They have a carrier which they may be in for a day if we had to go but I don't plan on having to head out. I only say here, I would suggest having things ready, and maybe second of it in the bathroom you mentioned in case things get Wiley. This way you won't worry or forget things. I'll be thinking of you as we go through this, although you seem more in the path than me from the commments. As long as you are prepared it'll take some stress away and your gliders will adapt for a small time. It's not ideal but even on trips to the vet if I put my hand into the bag they fall silent because it's OK if daddy is there. Best luck and wishes, please update us when you can after the storm has passed? Alan L
