Large Animal Emergency Preparedness

Many of our residents are farmers and have large animals on their property. Consider putting an Emergency Management Plan in place for you and your animals.

Here is a list of a few things to consider having in your operation

• Visible identification and proof of ownership for all your animals
• Turning off all power to buildings and homes (emergency dependent)
• Securing all large objects that could become blowing debris (Trailers, tanks, troughs)
• Labelling hazardous materials and placing them all in a safe place.
• Storing chemicals in an area that will not result in runoff or seepage if they are punctured or spilled
• Identifying and removing all potential fire hazards
