Description
Emergency Kit and Advice
Being well prepared for emergency situations is vital during the ACT’s warmer months. The Spring and Summer come with an increased likelihood of extreme weather events such as bushfire, foods and hailstorms.
RSPCA ACT wants all residents to take advantage of a free emergency kit and prepare an evacuation plan for your family which includes your pets.
Emergency situations are extremely stressful and making logical and rational decisions can become difficult. Our pets will rely on us more than ever before during emergencies.
RSPCA ACT has created ‘Ready To Go,’ a free Emergency Kit for you to download or request a hard copy to be posted. We recommend you complete it now, before any potential emergency emerges.

We also recommend:
- Everyone in your home is familiar with and agrees with your Pet Emergency plan
- Keep a copy of the checklist readily available and easy to find, e.g. on the fridge or kitchen drawer
- Practice your bushfire preparedness or evacuation plan and include your pets
- Keep across the latest emergency advice by listening to ABC Radio Canberra 666, calling the ACT Emergency Services Australia hotline: 132 500 or following ACTESA on Facebook
- If you cannot evacuate with your pets, have a clear message prepared to alert emergency services of your pet’s location.
Please keep you and your pets safe all year round and in all weather conditions.
