There are back-up batteries for cell phones that are pretty cheap. Buy several for each device you hope to power and charge them ahead of time. They can give you hours of extra power and you can carry them.
As for your pets, get them microchipped, and be sure to keep your information updated with the company, even years after your pet is lost. Pets have been recovered long after they were lost. Microchips cost about $25, and last as long as your pet. Some companies charge a yearly fee. Make sure you know which kind of chip you are buying. Any vet or county shelter should be able to check for a chip at no cost.
Please do not leave your pet chained where there might be flooding. If you must abandon your pet inside your house, leave out food and plenty of clean water in a high place. Mark on the outside of your house in large letters “cat inside”, or whatever type of pet is there. But please take your pets if you can, and leave early so that you have time to get out with everything that is important, like your pets. There are usually shelters outside of the disaster area set-up to hold pets. Seek one out.
