Animal Disaster Preparedness - CDFA
http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/ahfss/ah/disaster_preparedness.htm
California Department of food and Agriculture: "Between 1993 and 1998 there were at least nine major disasters in the State of California, including three major floods, three fires, two winter storms, and one major earthquake. In such disasters, the first priorities for the use of state resources is the protection of life, property, and the environment. In the past, this has not included a coordinated response for the evacuation, care, and sheltering of animals. Although the protection of human life is appropriately the highest priority in disasters, recent disaster experiences and follow-up research has shown that proper preparation and effective coordination of animal issues will enhance the ability of emergency personnel to protect citizens and their property."
