Emergencies come in many forms, and they may require anything from a brief absence from your home to permanent evacuation. Each type of disaster requires different measures to keep your pets and/or livestock safe. The best thing you can do for yourself and your animals is to be prepared.

• Arrange a safe haven for your pets/livestock in the event of evacuation.
• Keep an Evac-Pack and supplies handy for your pets.
• Choose a “Designated Caregiver”
• If you must evacuate your home in a crisis, plan for the worst-case scenario.
