You have to be able to evacuate if necessary when warnings come, so packing things for that would be a good idea. Checking community sources for what you're allowed to take (and NOT) to a shelter would be useful to know, and is something you can do now, if you haven't already done so. Communities should be providing shelter information as it becomes clearer where it might hit. Also, many people-shelters don't allow you to bring in pets. Some animal shelters will take them, so it would help to track down who will take your pets, and how they need them documented, an what sort of cages to use, would also be useful. I used to work with a woman who helped during fires out here to evacuate horses and pet pigs and dogs and so on, so it can be a fairly involved process for the folks trying to rescue animals they don't know, and every pet that gets taken out by owners, with their documents, is that much more help.
