Large Animal Evacuation Tips:

• Keep your trailer in safe, working condition. If you don’t have a truck and trailer, make arrangements in advance to have someone evacuate your animals.
• Know who is evacuating your animals.
• Be sure to exchange phone numbers, California Drivers license numbers and other relevant information with the person evacuating your horse or other large animals.
• Know where your animals will be taken
• Network with your neighbors; work together to help horse/large animal owners who are not home during an emergency.
