Best course of action to follow when taking your animals home after a natural disaster. 

LOOK FOR DEBRIS

 Find out the extent of the damage to your property to ensure that it is safe and remove any potential hazards.

ACCOMMODATION AND SECURITY

 Make sure you have a clean, dry and undamaged space to house your animals. Floodwater can cause disease and surfaces will need to be disinfected.

NOISE AND ACTIVITY

 Animals affected by natural disasters may be traumatised and spooked easily. If possible only return your animals after repairs and rubbish have been removed. 

FOOD AND WATER

 Ensure your pets have access to clean water and uncontaminated food sources. 

SHELTER

 Animals returning to properties must have appropriate shelter from the elements. 

HEALTH

 Monitor the health and safety of your pets once home.
