Include Pet Rescue in FEMA Training
Problem: Training on the handling of rescuing Companion Animals during a crisis may not be as complete as they could be and there needs to be a clear legal understanding people are allowed to evacuate with their pets.
Intended Goal: Emergency plans for pet evacuation and care during an emergency that include in state/county/local FEMA training. Possibly designating a central staging area where all the pets are documented with information, photos and scanned before being fostered in other area. Also, provisions to treat the animals for injuries and test them for Parvo, Distemper and CIV so they do not infect the other rescued animals or the ones in foster care and shelters in other areas.
Chips can find dogs scattered to other areas of the country:
