When It Happens: Disaster Response Essentials for Animal Shelters
Best Friends Animal Society
Preparedness and Response to disasters and emergency events are inevitable in animal shelters. This session focuses on how shelter teams can lead effective preparedness and response efforts, from pre-event planning and documentation to triage, vaccination, biosecurity, and disease prevention in emergency shelters. Attendees will gain practical strategies to protect staff safety, reduce overcrowding-related disease risks, and support both animals and communities during high-stress events.
This webinar is part of a series produced by the National Shelter Medicine Team with Best Friends Animal Society. These webinars are designed for any/all shelter staff, particularly for medical teams.
