Disaster Preparedness

ARE YOU PREPARED?

Your horses are your responsibility. In BC there is no designated government or disaster agency responsible for the evacuation, transportation and temporary stabling of horses during large scale incidents.

HCBC has the following information free for download to help horse owners prepare for natural disasters, fire safety and prevention.

This information is intended to help the horse owner prepare for most disasters. It is only intended for use with horses. Your personal preparedness for yourself, your family and your home is not covered in these publications.
