Improved planning for animal assistance in emergencies and disasters.
New law requires FEMA to establish a working group. Its purpose is to improve planning and coordination of care for pets, service animals, and captive animals during disasters. This means citizens can expect better support for their animals in difficult situations.
Key points
A special expert group will be formed to develop best practices and guidelines for animals in crisis situations.
The group will assess current evacuation and sheltering procedures for animals and propose new, improved solutions if needed.
The group will include representatives from state and local governments, academics, veterinarians, and non-profit organizations, ensuring a broad perspective on the issue.
