As soon as it is safe, livestock owners should check on the condition of their animals. Be prepared to take feed, hay, water, basic livestock first aid supplies, and wire cutters and other tools. Be extremely careful when re-entering affected areas because of debris, chemical spills and downed power lines. As soon as possible, move the animals out of any flooded areas and to dry or covered locations.
