Be alert of wildlife during and after the storm. If you see a wild animal, give it plenty of space. Animals may act defensive and aggressive – they have experienced a lot of stress throughout the storm. Do not attempt to rescue them during or immediately following the storm, as it could put the animal and yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. When clearing debris, always wear long pants, gloves, and closed-toe shoes and never reach your hand into brush piles or holes without first checking for snakes or other wildlife. Approach floodwaters with caution and do not go wading in them. Alligators, snakes, and other wildlife may be present. Although wildlife play an important role for the environment, your health and safety are the top priorities.
