Disaster Preparedness for Veterinarians

Veterinarians play a crucial role in disaster response and recovery, and it is essential for them to be prepared for such events.

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) provides disaster and emergency preparedness tools for veterinarians and animal owners, including guidelines for emergency planning for veterinary practices [1].

Additionally, the AVMA has a resource designed for veterinarians and pet and livestock owners interested in all-hazards/all-species veterinary and animal emergency issues, which contains a wealth of information about disaster planning and the needs of animals [2].

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also provides educational materials for pet disaster preparedness, including a checklist of items to include in a preparedness kit [3].

By utilizing these resources and creating a disaster preparedness plan, veterinarians can help ensure the safety and well-being of animals during times of crisis.
