Companion animals are to go to the GMC pound Ross St Bradfordville.
As you evacuate you should:
• Take your important documents, mementos and photos

• If you are going to the evacuation centre, take blankets/sleeping bags, pillows and sleeping mats
• If possible, check to see if your neighbours need help
• Turn off the electricity and gas
