In some cases, pets can become lost during an emergency or hazards can arise as a result.
After an emergency, you may need to:
- Check your pets for any injuries and seek medical attention if required.
- Survey your property for hazards such as sharp objects, dangerous materials, live wires and contaminated water.
- Check fences and enclosures - find safe and secure areas to release animals into (during daylight) or find other temporary accommodation/agistment.
- Watch your pets closely for the first few hours - often familiar areas and scents have changed which can confuse your animals and alter their behaviour.
- Seek emergency food and water if supplies are damaged.
