Residents urged to plan for their animals ahead of storms and floods

With storm season still upon us, residents of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Valley are being urged by NSW State Emergency Service (NSW SES) to not only plan for themselves, but their animals as well.

NSW SES Chief Superintendent Greg Swindells pointed animal owners towards the numerous resources available via www.getreadyanimals.nsw.gov.au to make a plan now.

"In the face of a potential flood, one of the first things we encourage owners to do is get their animals to higher ground and away from flood prone areas," Mr Swindells said.
