Evacuation Tips for Farm Animals

by Health Safety on November 2, 2008

  • Evacuate animals as soon as possible. Be ready to leave once the evacuation is ordered.
  • Arrange your evacuation route in advance.
  • Arrange for a place to house your animals.
  • Plan an alternate evacuation route. Alternate routes should be mapped out in case the planned route becomes inaccessible.
  • Set up safe transportation. Make sure that you have available trucks, trailers, or other vehicles suitable for transporting farm animals. And arrange to have experienced animal handlers and drivers to transport them.
  • Take your supplies with you. At evacuation sites, you should have, or be able to readily obtain, food, water, veterinary care, handling equipment, and generators if necessary.
  • Work with the state department of agriculture. If your animals cannot be evacuated, your state department of agriculture can provide on-farm oversight.
