When emergencies strike - whether it’s bushfire, storm, or flood - your pets rely on you to keep them safe. Including animals in your emergency plan isn’t optional.

It’s a responsibility.

Today’s video highlights just how important it is to think ahead for your pets, with help from some adorable SA pets who know how to sit, stay, and evacuate (okay, maybe not evacuate - but they’re ready to go when you are!).

Simple steps to prepare your pets:

• Add pet supplies to your emergency kit (carrier, food, water, meds, comfort toy)

• Make sure your pets are microchipped and their details are current

• Have a plan for where your animals will go if you need to leave

• Practice early evacuation, leaving late puts lives at risk

Your pets are part of the family. Make sure they’re part of your survival plan too.
