⚠️🌧️ SEVERE WEATHER PREPARATION FOR PETS & HOMES 🌧️⚠️
With severe weather predicted across Perth this WA Day long weekend, now is the time to prepare both your home and your pets to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
🐾 PET PREPARATION TIPS:
• Ensure all pets have current ID tags and microchip details up to date in case they become frightened and escape.
• Keep pets indoors wherever possible during strong winds, thunderstorms and heavy rain.
• Create a safe, quiet area inside your home where pets can retreat if they become anxious.
• Have enough food, medication, bedding and fresh water available for several days.
• Keep leads, harnesses and carriers easily accessible if an evacuation becomes necessary.
• Avoid walking dogs during severe weather warnings, particularly near large trees, flooded areas, beaches or waterways.
• Check outdoor enclosures, aviaries, hutches and fencing to ensure they are secure and protected from wind and rain.
🏠 HOME PREPARATION TIPS:
• Secure or bring inside outdoor furniture, bins, pet toys, pots and other loose items.
• Trim any dangerous overhanging branches where safe to do so.
• Charge phones, power banks and essential devices ahead of possible power outages.
• Prepare torches, batteries and emergency supplies.
• Ensure gutters and drains are clear to help reduce flooding risks.
• Park vehicles away from large trees where possible.
🌊 During the storm, stay away from flooded roads, drains, rivers and coastal areas. Strong winds, heavy rainfall, flash flooding and dangerous surf conditions are forecast across parts of Perth and Western Australia this long weekend.
Most importantly, keep yourself and your furry family members safe and monitor updates from the Bureau of Meteorology and emergency services throughout the weekend.
Stay safe everyone, and give your pets some extra comfort and reassurance if the weather gets rough 🤗🐶😺🐰🐔🦜🐾🩷💙
