Pets In Emergencies

Your animals are your responsibility.
It is up to you to prepare for the safety and welfare of your pets in case of an emergency.

Be Prepared
- Include your animals in household emergency plans
- Properly identify your pets (eg name tags, microchip or band)
- Keep a list of emergency phone numbers handy
- Be aware that some evacuation centre's may not accept animals so plan alternatives accordingly

Act Early
- if moving animals to a safer place, do so early to avoid unnecessary risk
- Ensure there is access to plenty of food and water
- If staying at home secure animals in good time so that they do       not take flight

Be Considerate
If you leave pets behind:
- if possible, leave your pets indoors
- place pets in seperate rooms with small or preferably no windows  (eg laundry, bathroom)
- provide adequate food and water in large heavy bowls
- if left outside, do not tie them up

Act Safe
- Your safety, and that of your family, is paramount
