Hurricane Dorian: Florida Suspends Animal Movement Requirements

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Animal Industry, has suspended intrastate movement requirements for the transportation of animals, including horses, from areas expected to be impacted by Hurricane Dorian.

In addition, the following states have waived their interstate import requirements for Florida pets and livestock leaving Hurricane Dorian’s expected impact areas:

Alabama;
Georgia; and
Mississippi.

Any person transporting pets or livestock must stop at the Department’s agricultural interdiction stations and present any required movement documentation. A transporter who fails to provide the required documentation will be issued an Advisory Notice, which must remain with the livestock during transport to Alabama, Georgia, or Mississippi and the return trip to Florida.
