Displaced Animal
Move your animals to higher ground or a designated safe place if it is safe to do so:
 Bring a 72 hour supply of suitable food and water.
 Bring an emergency kit for your animals (which should include animal identification and
records, as well as important contact numbers and first aid).
If you have no choice but to leave your livestock behind:
 Move livestock to higher ground before evacuating, if it is safe to do so. Give them enough
food and clean water to last them 72 hours. They will require shelter and protection from
the elements.
 Untie them so that they can escape if floodwaters rise. Animals that are tethered or
confined have no chance in the event of a flood or storm surge. Animals are strong
swimmers, and releasing them allows them to survive.
 Have plenty of fresh water on hand when you return after the flood waters have receded.
 Check and secure fencing upon your return, as it may have shifted due to the floods.
