Pet Evacuation: Fire-Safe Animal Information for Large Animals and House Pets

We love our pets! Wildfire preparedness includes care for our pets and large animals.  If an evacuation order goes out, do you know how to keep your animals safe? What should you pack in your pet’s go-bag? Where can you safely evacuate with pets? What about livestock, horses, chickens and iguanas and exotic birds? Cindy Machado of Marin Humane and Julie Atwood of the Halter Project will share their extensive knowledge and experience of emergency planning for our animals. They will answer your questions and give advice about how to:

• Create defensible space around your home, barn and animals’ shelters.
• Think through an evacuation plan and have a checklist.
• Learn guidelines that will give animals the best chance of survival.
• Connect with resources, such as Marin Humane, Halter Project and emergency shelters and foster programs for pets.
