This Primefact is designed to assist owners of animals to prepare for an emergency event.

In any emergency, you should not ignore the welfare of animals that you care for. An emergency may require anything from a brief absence to a long-term evacuation; so, to minimise the risks to your family and animals, you should make arrangements for their safety by having plans in place and being prepared for emergency situations.

This Primefact contains preparation, evacuation and safety tips for owners of dogs, cats, birds, horses and livestock, as well as general animal requirements and tips for handling difficult animals.
