Equine Owner Hurricane Preparedness Workshop Wednesday
Do you have an evacuation plan for your large animals?

With Tropical Storm Chantal looming in the distance, now might be the time for many equine owners to want to address their evacuation plan for their large animals.Â
Dorchester, Charleston and Berkeley counties Emergency Management Departments and Clemson Livestock-Poultry Health have teamed up to host an Equine Hurricane Preparedness Workshop 6:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesday at County Council chambers, 500 N. Main Street.
Topics during the workshop include:
- Horse owner preparedness and evacuation tips
- Temporary shelter sites
- Requests for resources needed during an event
- Important health issues for horses
EMD hopes to also discover some untapped volunteer resources in the tri-county area for local assistance, if needed, for equine issues in preparedness, response and recovery.
