Large Animal Evacuation
Animal owners need to prepare and practice a plan for evacuating their animals in the event of an emergency.
Some things to consider are:

- How to prepare yourself and your animals before an emergency
- What to have on hand (halters, ropes, meds, special diets, instructions, etc.)
- Documentation
of animals prior to an emergency
- How to identify your animals after an emergency has occurred.
Where do you go?
- What to do if not at home when your community is evacuated
