Preparedness for each of the disasters discussed above can be as detailed as your time and money will allow. Unfortunately, however, despite all your diligent preparations, you will lose some animals to disaster. Since disease is a great danger following a disaster, dispose of any carcasses as quickly as possible. The preferred method is rendering or cremation. Take extreme care when handling dead animals. Wear protective gloves and clothing.

By preparing as carefully as you can for disaster, despite the fact that you will lose animals, you can cut those losses to a minimum and save a great many.
