The U.S. Department of Agriculture is? offering these tips to coastal residents who have livestock and pets that might be affected by Isaac:
Livestock Safety
- Make sure barns and structures where live?stock can be sheltered are in good repair. If more space is needed for your stock, make arrangements for the use of other sheltering facilities in close proximity to your facilities.
- Calculate the feed and water requirements to maintain livestock and poultry during an emergency.
- Make preparations for protecting feed and water supplies and providing emergency electrical power if necessary.
- If possible, cover feed and forage stored outdoors with a tarp or plastic sheeting. Routinely cover open water supplies, such as troughs and stock tanks.
Pet Safety
- If you have not been ordered to evacuate, make sure you have enough pet food and water on hand to feed your pets during an emergency.
- An emergency pet shelter might be available near the human emergency shelter, check with your local emergency management agency to find the nearest emergency pet shelter to you. Do not stay behind with your pet if state or local officials order you to evacuate.
- Pet owners should be prepared to provide the following information to pet shelter workers if possible: name; species and breed; sex; color; distinctive markings; age; microchip identification number; vaccination records; health conditions and required medication.
