And then there are your other animals. Which can you take with you? What all would you need to do for those you have to leave behind? I would suggest talking with your local sheriff’s office now to make them aware you could have numerous animals left behind in an emergency situation. Depending on the events, maybe an officer could drop by to check on them. I would print out a list of animals (like 2 yard dogs, 1 cat, 3 horses in the field north of the house, and 100 rabbits in the red barn) with feeding instructions and put a copy in feed barrels and on a post in the middle of the barn.
10. PATIENCE: This is one of the most important things to pack. Keep it inside of you so that you have a clear calm head. Having your Preparedness List guiding you will keep you cool, calm, and organized. In the event of an evacuation, there will be lots of displaced people. Being patient will make things less stressful. Your children need to see you calm and collected. This will help keep them calm too.
Don't wait till you suddenly find you must leave home for any reason. Everyone thinks that it could not happen to them. Well it could, and it is up to you to make sure you are prepared. Don't wait! DO IT NOW!! |
