Now more than ever, we need emergency management plans to support owners and their pets to ensure the protection of our local communities and animals in a disaster. We all know that disaster can strike at any time, so it's up to all of us to make sure we have a plan not only for our family but also for our pets.
By law, in Aotearoa New Zealand, everyone who owns a pet is required to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the physical health, and all other needs of the animals are met at all times, including in a disaster.
By making a disaster plan for your family and pets, your pet may end up saving your life; as you and your pet will be well prepared to evacuate fast or stay put, with enough supplies when a disaster strikes.
A plan will help stop delays or panicked wrong decisions that could end up putting your lives (and others) at risk.
