How can DOGS Victoria help in an emergency situation?
DOGS Victoria has reviewed its own
Emergency Response Plan (pdf). This document is a work in progress and will be updated regularly. However, it already contains important information for all members including emergency phone numbers, tips on preparing your home and checklists for preparing emergency kits for your family and your dogs. Therefore we recommend you print out a copy now to have contact information and emergency phone numbers close at hand. Click the following link or the map to the right for a large version of the
regional map to asses which region covers you.
For more information on preparing your pets for evacuation please read the
Pet Emergency Evacuations Tips provided courtesy Heather Tilley, a member of the Border Collie Club.
Notification of Evacuation
Download the
Evacuation Notice Form to leave in your door or window when evacuating your home early. This is to let emergency workers know that you have evacuated and also whether or not you have taken your animals with you and, if not, where they are located on your property.
Please note we recommend using this form only if you are leaving early and have plenty of time.
